Deion Sanders coached his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, for the final time during the Alamo Bowl, where the Colorado Buffaloes faced BYU. The game concluded with BYU defeating Colorado 36-14. This matchup marked a poignant moment for Sanders, who expressed uncertainty about coping with the emotional weight of coaching his sons in their last collegiate game. BYU's victory capped off their season with an impressive 11-2 record, while Colorado finished the season at 9-4. The game highlighted BYU's strong defensive performance, holding Colorado to just 210 total yards and two rushing yards, while also limiting Shedeur Sanders, who struggled throughout the match. The loss raised questions about the future of Colorado's football program under Sanders after a season that included a Heisman Trophy winner.
