Despite the backlash, the Alamo Bowl matchup between BYU and Colorado will still take place, airing on ABC on Saturday. The game is being seen as a significant showdown between two strong Big 12 contenders, despite the controversy surrounding Retzlaff’s remarks. Fans can tune in to watch the game and see who will come out on top in what Retzlaff dubbed the unofficial Big 12 championship.
