The Colorado Buffaloes are just about ready for their first bowl game appearance since 2007.

However, this Colorado team isn’t just happy to be there. Far from it, actually. Colorado has been one of the feel-good stories of the 2016 season, bouncing back from being the whipping boys of the Pac-12 conference to one its top teams.

But for the season to end on a high note, the team has to dispatch Oklahoma State in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Thursday night. Both teams bring a ton of offense and plenty of points are expected to light up the scoreboard.

For the Buffs to win, they’ll have to do much more than just show up in San Antonio.

Oklahoma State is a solid team that is well coached. They will give the Buffs all they can handle in this one. So in order for Colorado to come out on top, there are five aspects of this contest they’ll need to get the better end of.
