In his first season at the helm of the University of Colorado football team, Karl Dorrell has led the Buffs back to the Valero Alamo Bowl where the Buffs will play in their first postseason bowl game in four years on Dec. 29. The last time CU competed for a bowl game title was in 2016 when they were the Pac-12 runner-ups following a conference championship loss to Washington. The Buffs’ subsequent destination was San Antonio, Texas in the 2016 Alamo Bowl, where they suffered a 38-8 loss to Oklahoma State.
Colorado’s opponent at the Alamodome this year will be the University of Texas Longhorns; a former Big 12 rival prior to the Buffs’ departure for the Pac-12 in 2011.
