BYU Obliterates Colorado: Analyzing How The Cougars Did It

KSL Sports football analyst Stevenson Sylvester breaks down the tape on the Cougars' 36-14 victory over the Buffaloes in the Alamo Bowl.

From what I've been able to determine is:
1) Colorado was picked as the favorite by most sports analysts, and because of this, going into this game, Colorado was busy huffing their own hype and probably thinking this was going to be easy for them. They were NOT prepared for this matchup
2) BYU went into this with the proper mentality and preparation

A good football team has a running game.

wait, didn't Colorado also have two weeks to prepare a gameplan?

BYU v. Utah and Colorado v. Utah is a stupid comparison. BYU crushed Utah's soul in one of the most hateful rivalries, on Utah's home field, after Utah spent all their effort and emotion to try (and fail) to ruin BYU's season. Not to mention BYU ended the season of the Utah QB and star Tight End during that game. After falling off that emotional cliff, even the Utah defense was a shell of its former self. And Colorado got Utah, at home, the week after that emotional and physical destruction. The scores of those two games do not compare. Anyone who thinks that means Colorado was better than BYU deserves the disappointment that set them up for.

Colorado played the way poor Ralphie ran around lol 😂

He had to throw in the ute sugar bowl reference so people remember that at one point in time, utah didn't completely suck. That was a good ute team, but lol

It looked like they got calles out. Charge.

[Colin-Fenix]

Are these guys professionals? I used to watch KSL, they were better on the old days!

[johndotter]

Defense disguised their front very well!

CU is not good off the bye week ..a month you can see all the rust ..good game BYU

Sanders & Hunter are not as great as you think. Body of work - 2 yrs at Jackson St (opponents low level of talent); last 2 yrs 13 & 13 record where maybe they played against 4 really good teams…one was Oregon and another is BYU…Any good team they lost.
NFL … way to smart … not shocking if Hunter is late 1st round. Shedeur…takes way to many 10+ yrs sacks…he will drive QB coaches & OC’s crazy with his poor decision making. Can only hope he gets 2+ seasons behind a good pro to watch & develop. He starts as a rookie he’ll be worse than Caleb Wilson.

CU hasn’t beat a great team or even a decently good team. They’ve pushed around really crappy teams like the 105th ranked OSU and get beat on by anyone ranked.. they stayed ranked and became ranked based off hype alone. Go ahead and argue otherwise. I can show you there’s no argument there lol

I met sly at a gay bar in San Francisco what a great guy

You mean BYU did something to Colorado, the BEST TEAM UTAH PLAYED ALL YEAR, that Utah could not do? 😱😉
