The 32nd Valero Alamo Bowl is officially busting out the pigskin on December 28 at 6:30 p.m., as confirmed by game officials. According to KENS 5, this showdown will feature the BYU Cougars, hailing from the Big 12, squaring off against the Colorado Buffaloes, representing the no-longer-with-us Pac-12.

Bearing in mind that the Big 12 has a 15-13 record in this San Antonio-hosted event, this match is more than just a game. The Cougars are bringing their A-game to San Antonio for the first time, having clocked in a commendable season with ten wins and only two losses. As reported by KSAT, BYU's offense is something to watch, with Jake Retzlaff at the helm, throwing for 2,796 yards and counting, twenty touchdowns.

On the flip side, and speaking of things lorded over, Colorado's entering the bowl with a chip on their shoulder and Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders leading the pack. They've got their eyes set on victory after coming up short in their last two Valero Alamo Bowl appearances. With a record sitting pretty at nine wins and three losses, the Buffaloes are keener than a steak knife to rewrite their story at the Alamodome, as reported by KSAT.

This isn’t just another bowl game. Colorado's Shedeur Sanders is throwing with incredible accuracy, leading the nation with a 74.2% completion rate, according to KSAT. And then there’s Travis Hunter, a standout player whose impressive stats make opponents nervous. He's a finalist for nearly every major award, including the Heisman Trophy. This is no exaggeration.

The Alamo Bowl has drawn over 60,000 fans eight times since 2010, according to KENS 5. With a nationally televised kick-off on ABC, this game is sure to be a big event.
