Retzlaff referred to the Alamo Bowl as the "People’s Big 12 Championship."
Retzlaff is already making bowl history as the first Jewish quarterback in BYU history.
“I'm excited for it,” Retzlaff, 21, tells PEOPLE exclusively about playing on the holiday, and then adds, laughing: “Somebody will probably make a big deal out of that, so I won't.”
He continues, “But yeah, I mean it's going to be a lot of blast. I actually played on Yom Kippur this year [against Arizona] and we won, so it must've been a sign.”
