As the Colorado Buffaloes prepare for the Valero Alamo Bowl against BYU, Linebackers coach Andre Hart was all business during Tuesday morning's practice. With his players going through individual drills at the UTSA football facility, Hart was on them every step of the way, making sure they were in midseason form.
Despite being in Texas, Hart made it clear that they were going to coach like they were still in Colorado. He stressed the importance of maintaining their high standards and pushing for excellence every day. As the Buffs return to a bowl game for the first time since the 2020 Alamo Bowl, they are determined to come away with a win and make the most of this opportunity.
However, Hart was not entirely satisfied with the energy and focus displayed by his players during Tuesday's practice. He emphasized the need for high standards and reminded them that anything less than their best effort is not enough. Fortunately, there is still time for the team to improve and sharpen their skills before Saturday's game.
While Tuesday's practice may not have met the team's usual standards, head coach Deion Sanders was pleased with the overall preparation leading up to their flight to San Antonio on Monday. He described it as "great," setting a positive tone for the team's arrival.
The Buffs were also impressed with the RACE facility at UTSA, a state-of-the-art venue that opened in 2021. Hart appreciated the space and equipment provided by UTSA, and senior defensive end BJ Green was grateful for the opportunity to train at a lower elevation. He described the turf and grass fields as "really nice" and a welcome change from Colorado's high altitude.
As they settle into San Antonio, the team is focused and determined, guided by a coaching staff with plenty of bowl experience. Green, who has been to a bowl game before during his time at Arizona State, knows that winning is not easy and is grateful for this opportunity. He and his teammates are soaking in the experience and appreciating the privilege of playing in a prestigious bowl game like the Alamo Bowl.
The excitement and festivities of bowl week are not lost on the team either. As they take part in various events and activities, they are reminded of the hard work and determination that brought them to this point. And as they prepare for Saturday's game, the Buffs are grateful for this blessing and ready to give it their all.
