SAN ANTONIO — Technically, Tuesday's Colorado-Texas matchup in the Alamo Bowl (7 p.m., ESPN) will be the season finale for both squads.
But for Karl Dorrell's 4-1 Buffaloes, the game will be more than a cap on a successful 2020 season in the face of long odds.
It will also serve as a springboard to 2021, when Dorrell and his team hope to actually have a spring practice session, a normal summer workout schedule and a 12-game regular season uninterrupted or unencumbered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
"We feel like this is a good, fundamental step in our first year, to be bowl eligible and get a chance to compete," Dorrell said last week.
