The Drive | Hour 1 | 09.17.25

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover. The guys discuss CU's rotating door at quarterback and who they should turn to after third stringer Ryan Staub struggled. Did a position coach at Colorado take a shot at Deion Sanders with his comments on an identity and solidified quarterback? Where has Evan Engram been through the first two games of the season? Why has Engram's snap count been much lower than his snaps in Jacksonville or fellow tight end Adam Troutman? Zach gives out his expectations of a gameplan for the Chargers offense. Will the Broncos be able to take advantage of the Broncos poor inside linebacker play? Will the Broncos defense improve at stopping the run from what we've seen lately? We react to the reports that Colorado will return to Kaidon Salter as their starting quarterback. Will we continue to see a quarterback competition going on during the season or will Salter keep his place atop the QB depth chart?
