BYU Team Notes
- Extended head coach Kalani Sitake after a 10-2 season.
- Facing some injuries on the offensive line and shuffled starters around. However, BYU did return center Connor Pay, who missed much of the year to injury.
- Dropped two of its last three games after 9-0 start that lifted them inside the national top 10.
Colorado Team Notes
- Coach Deion Sanders said everyone should play, including Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.
- WR Jimmy Horn missed the last two games of the regular season to injury.
- Watch for high variance in this game. No baseline for general team motivation in bowl games under Sanders.
Alamo Bowl betting
Last year, Arizona (-3) blasted a shorthanded and unmotivated Oklahoma team. OU was without star QB Dillon Gabriel, who left in the transfer portal. Arizona finished one of its best seasons in school history, winning 10 games, and had just extended head coach Jedd Fisch. Fisch would leave for Washington but QB Noah Fifita and star WR Tetairoa McMillan stayed. The over/under of 62 points pushed.
Six underdogs in the last eight meetings covered the spread, with five winning outright. All-time, underdogs are 18-13 ATS while unders are 17-13-1. The last time the Alamo Bowl featured two unranked teams was in 2010.
