Following an impressive performance in Week 1, the Colorado Buffaloes will collide with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This will be one of the most exciting faceoffs of College Football because of their bitter rivalry. Last season, the Buffs defeated the Cornhuskers and so, the latter will try to avenge their loss.

On the other hand, the Colorado football program has been criticized time and again; Even after Deion Sanders’s presence. So they have their reputation on the line. Amidst this exciting clash, who will provide fans with real-time announcements? Here’s all we know about it.

Paul Burmeister and Colt McCoy will be the announcing team!

Paul Burmeister and Colt McCoy are well-established media analysts. Burmeister is a sportscaster with NBC Sports and NBC Olympics and will be the play-by-play announcer for this exciting game. He works primarily as a play-by-play voice and studio host across a few platforms. Before getting into NBC in 2014, he also worked as a studio host for NFL Network.

On the other hand, McCoy will be the color commentator. He isn’t a new name either. He is a former football quarterback who played for the Texas Longhorns. He also played thirteen seasons in the National Football League. In his overall professional career, he played 56 games, ran for 7,975 yards, received 34 touchdowns and 32 interceptions.

Now, McCoy is going to serve as an analyst for NBC during Big Ten games, making his debut with Colorado vs Nebraska’s week 2 game. Both announcers have a strong reputation in their respective fields, and their game insights will bring more depth to the match.

Further, Kathryn Tappen will provide more updates from the field. With both teams looking forward to a big win, it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top.

However, last season’s Colorado-Nebraska clash in week 2 had witnessed Gus Johnson as the play-by-play commentator, Joel Klatt as the color commentator and Jenny Taft as the sideline reporter.

Colorado vs Nebraska game predictions!

Colorado and Nebraska have played against each other 72 times in history. This season brings two of the most well-established quarterbacks in college football against each other. Shedeur Sanders son of Deion Sanders, is considered one of the best college football QBs in the country, and not surprisingly, he is also a potential first draft pick for the NFL.

This season, Shedeur ran for 445 yards and received four touchdowns. On the other hand, Nebraska has Dylan Raiola, a fresh recruit and one of the best prospects since 2005. Raiola ran for 238 yards and got a touchdown against the Miners. The 19-year-old made a strong impression in his first game, but there is added pressure this week with Heisman contender Shedeur Sanders on the opposing team.

While Colorado’s passing game was significantly better, the running was inconsistent in their season opener. Buff’s running backs ran for only 2.5 yards per carry and rushed for 59 yards in total. Even though the defensive line did its job well, North Dakota QB Cam Miller did exceptionally well by running for 81 yards with two touchdowns.

However, Nebraska was one of the top-10 rushing defenses last season. Let’s see how the Buffs match up their game for the upcoming showdown.
