In Hour 1 of The Drive, Kurtis Allen and Evan Stone dive into a big night for former Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer, who gets the start for the Detroit Lions in their preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Altmyer is getting a major opportunity to showcase what he can do as he competes for a spot on Detroit's roster.
The guys also discuss the latest developments in the Chicago Bears' stadium situation. Bears leadership says the organization is conducting its due diligence on potential sites in Hammond, Indiana, with the team currently focused on two Northwest Indiana locations. Despite the Indiana discussions, the franchise says it would remain the Chicago Bears if it eventually crosses the state line.
Plus, it's time for another edition of Evan's Random Illini Football Players of the Day, featuring another name from the long and fascinating history of Illinois football.
