The Drive | Hour 1 | 09.04.25

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Richie cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the news of the day in Nik Bonitto and the Broncos agreeing on a massive contract extension. How do the guys feel about the dollar amount on Bonitto's contract? Was this a win-win situation for both sides? Could Bonitto enter "defensive player of the year" conversations this season? The guy's question if Cam Ward is in for a nightmare on Sunday. Zach shares all the stats relating to rookie quarterbacks making their first start and on the road. We hear from Deion Sanders and his decision to play Juju Lewis this weekend vs Delaware. We look at Colorado's schedule and how many close games we expect them to be in this season; will they be able to mix in a freshman quarterback much?
