BYU Football Team Reactions After 2024 Alamo Bowl Victory

Dec 29, 2024, 11:54 AM | Updated: Dec 30, 2024, 9:36 pm

SAN ANTONIO – After being tabbed as an underdog again, BYU football had cause for celebration after the 36-14 victory over Colorado in the Alamo Bowl.

The Cougars finished the 2024 season with 11 wins. It was the 13th time in program history that BYU has finished a season with 11 victories.

The 2024 team is the first to do it while navigating a power conference schedule.

At one point in the third quarter, BYU led 27-0.

Many believed this game would be the curtain call for Colorado superstars Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, who won the Heisman Trophy.

Instead, it became the night to highlight the talent and physicality of the 2024 BYU football team.

BYU players and coaches celebrated the moment on social media after BYU’s dominant victory over Coach Prime’s Colorado Buffaloes.

Here is a roundup of some of the reactions from the BYU football team after the Alamo Bowl victory.
