SAN ANTONIO — By the time Colorado and Oklahoma State kick it off Thursday in the Valero Alamo Bowl (7 p.m., ESPN), it will have been nearly a month since both teams played a game.
Both would like to replace the memory of their last game with happier thoughts. The No. 10 Buffs are coming off a disappointing 41-10 loss to Washington in the Pac-12 Championship game; the No. 12 Cowboys dropped a 38-20 decision to Oklahoma in what amounted to a Big 12 title game in their last outing.
It's a contest that should no doubt provide plenty of interesting matchups, beginning with CU's standout secondary pitted against a potent OSU passing attack.
