College football fans who tuned into the ESPN broadcast of the game got pretty upset with the spotlight being heavily on Colorado, and they made their voices heard on social media. 

BYU offensive lineman Connor Pay even told the broadcasters to talk more about the team, according to broadcaster Dave Pasch.

"He walked up out there (the production meeting) yesterday and said to us, ‘Talk about BYU just a little bit, would you?’ Well, we’re talking about Connor Pay, and we’re talking about BYU now," Pasch said in the fourth quarter with the Cougars up 33-7, via Awful Announcing. "I'm sure the fans in Provo would love us to talk about BYU the whole night."

Pasch’s broadcast partner Dusty Dvoracek added that BYU "gave us plenty to talk about."
