Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss Colorado State rebounding after getting embarrassed by Wyoming a year ago.  We pivot to the Broncos as we get set for the Broncos' season-opening game. What version of Patrick Mahomes will we see after major knee surgery? Why are the Chiefs still favorites with a rusty Mahomes? Zach and Phil continue to preview the Broncos and Chiefs Week 1 matchup in Kansas City. We react to Woody Paige's report that the Penners plan to buy 35% more of the Rockies after purchasing 40% earlier this year. Will the Penners and their financial prowess be able to finally turn the Rockies into a winner? Will this purchase take away the Penners' attention to the Broncos? We react to CSU beating Wyoming and kicking off the Jim Mora era with a win. Zach takes his victory lap after calling his shot on CSU QB Hauss Hejny.
