Social Media Explodes After BYU Throttles Colorado In Alamo Bowl

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – It was all BYU in San Antonio as the Cougars controlled the action all night in a 36-7 win over Colorado. Social media erupted following BYU’s 11th win of 2024. BYU forced two turnovers, kicked three field goals, and added a Parker Kingston punt return touchdown in the lopsided win.

No. 17 BYU (11-2, 7-2)  ended the 2024 campaign in the Valero Alamo Bowl against Heisman Trophy-winner Travis Hunter and the No. 23 Colorado Buffaloes.

BYU caps off the 13th 11-plus win season in school history with a dominant performance against Colorado in the Alamo Bowl. An exclamation point on a season that has to be considered a top 10 BYU season, especially when you consider the level of competition.
