BYU Defeats Colorado 36-14 in Alamo Bowl

Duke Basketball's legacy began its resurgence in the early 1980s under Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who transformed the program into a national powerhouse after a challenging start. In the 1985 Pre-Season NIT, Duke faced off against a formidable St. John's team, showcasing the toughness and resourcefulness that would define Krzyzewski's coaching style. Meanwhile, in college football, BYU dominated Colorado in the Alamo Bowl with a 36-14 victory, securing a spot in the final AP Top 25 poll for the season. BYU's LJ Martin was named offensive MVP, and the defense excelled, particularly cornerbacks Marque Collins and Mory Bamba, who allowed minimal yardage against a talented Colorado offense. This performance sparked debate among fans regarding the ABC broadcast team's perceived bias towards Colorado, leading to widespread criticism on social media. Overall, BYU's triumph exemplifies the power of teamwork and preparation over individual talent.
