They spent all their NiL on three-four players. Should have invested in a line.
My point is not to expect them to be good with money management.

Yep….i loved beating them.
Now, I want to just concentrate on the rest of the season and make them as meaningless as possible.

Apparently The Athletic is doing a broadcaster rating now. Here's their take on Colt McCoy.
Hard to disagree with any of this. McCoy was definitely not ready for this stage. He sounded uninformed, unprepared, and overwhelmed. He should have gotten a much easier assignment than a prime time game in front of a huge audience.
10. NBC prime time (Nebraska 28, Colorado 10; Paul Burmeister play-by-play, Colt McCoy analyst)
I’m sure Herbstreit was far from great in his first year in broadcasting, but who knows? He wasn’t forced on a national audience. McCoy has been, and in a press release last month on McCoy’s hire, NBC’s Sam Flood said: “In a standout career at Texas, Colt McCoy starred in many of college football’s biggest games and fiercest rivalries.”
That’s true, but it doesn’t make him ready for an assignment like this as his broadcasting debut. He clearly wasn’t. It wasn’t fair to him, and it wasn’t fair to Burmeister or sideline reporter Kathryn Tappen.
This was heavy on dead air and light on analysis beyond cursory recaps. McCoy used the telestrator to draw a straight line from a defender who barged inside to the guy he sacked, Shedeur Sanders. He used “we” a lot, mostly when talking about Nebraska, so Texas fans can be mad about this too.
McCoy might be great someday, but for the sake of the viewers, please let broadcasters earn assignments based on their work and not their previous line of work. There are too many good ones out there for this to happen. And while we’re making requests of TV execs: Can we get Robert Griffin III doing games again soon?

We need RGIII talking about booties again! Maybe he's busy with the kid though. That was actually a super awesome moment when he jetted out of the middle of a game because his wife went into labor.
