What Colorado players are saying about facing BYU in the Alamo Bowl

“We got to go out there and attack that game like every other game,” Bentley said. “I want another shutout. Defense, we got to do our thing, play fast and physical.”

“Every game is a big game, especially at this time of the year,” Bentley said. “Not making it last year, that was kind of tough. Getting back to one, that’s always great because those games is what most of the fans want to watch and see. We’re just blessed to be in that position.”

“I don’t think it’s a challenge,” McKinney said. “We’re still locked in. We know what the mission is, to finish the season strong and everything. It’s really no challenge, it’s just a little break from actually playing games in consecutive weeks. We know the main mission.”

“It’s a little vacation I would kind of say, but it’s still a business trip at the end of the day,” McKinney said. “We’re still out here with your guys playing another game that we got to be thankful for.”

“A very sound team, a very technically sound team,” McKinney said. “They’re gonna do their job, they’re gonna execute what their coaches are calling and everything. We just got to be more disciplined than them.”

“(I went) four seasons in a row without going to one, and then my last season ever going to one, and one of the biggest ones that’s not the College Football Playoff, it’s a great feeling,” Sheppard said.

“Playing in the bowl game, it’s my first one, it’s my first year, so I love it,” Miller said. “But that’s not the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is to win the national championship, and we still haven’t (gotten) there yet.”

“Our expectation is to dominate,” Miller said. “That’s what we talk about in our room. Our motto is S.O.B, and that’s stand on business. We’re gonna dominate. We know what we gotta do to win this game. We’re gonna take it play-by-play.”
