Colorado’s Alamo Bowl performance on Saturday was one to forget, losing 36-14 to BYU. This disastrous showing had social media busy on X, especially given the high profile of coach Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders.

The score was 20-0 at halftime, and the internet wasted no time creating hilarious memes at Colorado’s expense. The online world seemed to relish in the Buffaloes' struggles. BYU’s defense completely shut down Colorado’s run game, limiting them to two total rushing yards.

This provided ample material for meme-makers on X. They mocked everything from the score to the Sanders family. Let’s have a look at the top 10 memes:

How did Deion Sanders' Colorado fare against BYU?

Colorado’s Alamo Bowl appearance ended in a disappointing 36-14 loss to BYU. While their regular season was encouraging, finishing 9-3, the Buffaloes were outplayed from start to finish in their last game.

BYU led 27-0 midway through the third quarter, with strong performances from quarterback Jake Retzlaff, running back LJ Martin, and linebacker Isaiah Glasker. Colorado’s defense managed two first-half interceptions by DJ McKinney and Anquin Barnes Jr. and a later interception by Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig, but their offense struggled mightily. Coach Prime said:

The offensive line was at a loss owing to Phillip Houston’s injury. Coach Prime’s QB son Shedeur got little protection. The Buffs only gained two rushing yards (36 without sacks factored in) and Sanders was sacked four times.

As usual, Heisman winner Travis Hunter was a bright spot on offense, with four receptions, 106 receiving yards and one touchdown. LaJohntay Wester also contributed 51 receiving yards, and Sav'ell Smalls caught his first career touchdown. On defense, Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig had six tackles, 1.5 TFLs, and an interception, while Chidozie Nwankwo tallied seven tackles, 1.5 TFLs, and a forced fumble.

Shedeur Sanders finished with 208 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. BYU’s LJ Martin rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns, and Isaiah Glasker had eight tackles (four solo and four combined). For Colorado, the offseason will focus on the quarterback battle between Julian Lewis and Kaidon Salter.

Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
