After a disappointing 2023 season, BYU football is back in the bowl game scene and looking to finish strong. They face Colorado in the Valero Alamo Bowl, hoping to secure an 11th win and prove their program's progress.
Sitting home last December for the first time in his five-year career at BYU , defensive end Tyler Batty said he felt frustrated and “a little weird” about the Cougars’ down season. BYU has qualified to a bowl game in 18 of the past 20 years, including six of the past seven under coach Kalani Sitake. But 2023 marked one of the rare exceptions, as the Cougars slumped to a 5-7 mark during the team’s first season in the Big 12. Now back to a No.

It’s a big deal,” Retzlaff said. “Eleven wins is a huge accomplishment.
