The Drive | Hour 2 | 08.26.26

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue to react to the story that Juju Lewis looked into transferring to Georgia Tech in the offseason. Will we see both Lewis and Isaac Wilson play quarterback for the Buffs this season? We pivot to the Broncos and hear from Sean Payton saying Bo Nix "probably won't play this Friday". Do the guys agree with this approach to preserve Nix? Could this cause the Broncos to have a slow start to the season? Today's "Three Count" features Colorado being one of the top 5 most bet-on teams to hit their season win total, Jamal Murray not making it to the Nuggets workouts in Puerto Rico with JJ Barrea, and the Avalanche being announced to have 16 games this season. We react to a new study that details the link between CTE and former football players who passed away between 2016 and 2021.
