    The BYU Cougars picked up a huge season-ending win over the Colorado
    Buffaloes on Saturday night, thwarting the perfect sendoff for Shedeur
    Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.

    The Cougars blew out the Buffaloes in the Alamo Bowl, 36-14. BYU running
    back L.J. Martin had two touchdowns to go with 93 rushing yards, and Sione
    I Moa added another score on the ground to help BYU to the win.

    College football fans who tuned into the ESPN broadcast of the game got
    pretty upset with the spotlight being heavily on Colorado, and they made
    their voices heard on social media.

    BYU offensive lineman Connor Pay even told the broadcasters to talk more
    about the team, according to broadcaster Dave Pasch.

    "He walked up out there (the production meeting) yesterday and said to us, æTalk about BYU just a little bit, would you?Æ Well, weÆre talking about
    Connor Pay, and weÆre talking about BYU now," Pasch said in the fourth
    quarter with the Cougars up 33-7, via Awful Announcing. "I'm sure the fans
    in Provo would love us to talk about BYU the whole night."

    PaschÆs broadcast partner Dusty Dvoracek added that BYU "gave us plenty to
    talk about."

    Pay was among those who weighed in on the call.

    HavenÆt watched the broadcast version, but from what IÆm hearing it didnÆt
    work ??
    I did my best guys IÆm sorry lol

    For what itÆs worth, ColoradoÆs Sanders and Hunter are set to become first-round picks in the upcoming draft. Not to mention, Deion Sanders is
    the head coach of Colorado and has rebuilt the program into one of the
    most captivating in the nation.

    Sanders said it was "tough" knowing that some of the players heÆs been
    coaching for the last two or three years are going to be leaving his side
    for the next part of their journeys.

    BYU finished the season 11-2, producing their third 10-win season in the
    last five years. They havenÆt had a run like that since the mid-2000s when
    they won at least 10 games from 2006 to 2009 and then again in 2011.

    Kalani Sitake had the team go from a meager five wins in their first
    season in the Big 12 Conference last year to 11 wins and a bowl
    appearance.

    Sitake is 5-2 in bowl games since taking over the program in 2016.
