The Drive | Hour 3 | 07.20.26

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil finish their conversation on Peyton Watson and how concerned they are about the sample size of playing well. We pivot to the Buffs and react to ESPN's FPI analytics predicted winning probability in each of their games this season. With only being favorites in 4 of their games, would a 4-8 season be considered successful? We react to ESPN building the best starting lineup in the NFL with only backup players. Who is the Broncos' best backup player, and could he step in to a starting role? What is the most likely for the Broncos between JK Dobbins going for 1,000 yards, Courtland Sutton going for 1,000 yards, Jaylen Waddle going for 1,000 yards, Nik Bonitto getting 15 sacks, and Evan Engram going for 800 yards? We react to Hunter Goodman's three-home run performance from Sunday, as he becomes the first Rockies player to have multiple games with three home runs in a season. Could he set the NL record for home runs by a catcher? What kind of haul could the Rockies get if they decided to trade Goodman before the trade deadline this year?
