The Colorado Buffaloes are playing in the Valero Alamo Bowl with their entire roster available, a rarity in today's college football landscape. Coach Deion Sanders secured additional insurance for his team, including his star quarterback son Shedeur. Both teams are excited for the challenge, with Colorado looking to end its season on a high note and BYU facing a potent Buffaloes offense.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Colorado is relishing the chance to end its season on a high note regardless of the outcome of the Valero Alamo Bowl . While a number of teams are shuffling their roster with players opting out of bowl games to enter the transfer portal or prepare for the NFL Draft, the Buffaloes have their entire two-deep roster available. No. 20 Colorado (9-3, No. 23 CFP) will face the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars (10-2, No. 17 CFP) in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday.
'We appreciate every single moment,' Buffaloes linebacker B.J. Green said. 'This group of guys will never be together again. You have to appreciate that stuff. Football is supposed to be a fun sport. I feel a lot of time these days people have turned it into a job, and it's not supposed to be that.' Colorado coach Deion Sanders honored his players' commitment by securing additional disability insurance coverage for his team, including record coverage for his star duo of Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and quarterback son Shedeur. Many scouting services have Sanders rated as the top quarterback in this year's draft, but he didn't want to sit out and miss his final game with the Buffaloes. 'It's about cherishing the moment,' Sanders said. 'It's about knowing this is the final collegiate game, and each and every game we left it all out there. There's no regret. I don't ever want to go anywhere with regret, so that's the thing.' Sanders is also looking forward to competing against BYU's stellar defense. The Cougars had 12 different players record an FBS-best 20 interceptions this season. '(It's) very hard to find a flaw when it comes to them because of the way they go about their business ... the way they're able to move and react different ways,' Shedeur said. 'You don't know who is doing what, you know, so they have a great scheme. They have a great everything. I'm very blessed for my final collegiate game to go against that type of challeng
