The Drive | Hour 3 | 08.20.24

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil ask where Troy Franklin has been? After most of preseason over, we are still waiting on Franklin to make an impact. Can Sean Payton be a dark horse choice for “coach of the year” this season? What benchmarks would the Broncos have to hit for Payton to be considered for the award? Is Payton’s recent appearances with national media setting the groundwork to convince media members to vote for him for the COY award? We get to know preseason stand out, Keidron Smith. Where did Keidron come from and what led him to this point with the Broncos? We finish up the hour with a preview of the CU Buffs season and an audio byte from Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt. Can the Buffs reach the 8-win mark?
