    Ohio State vs Texas Reaction: How the Buckeyes Blew a 20-Point 4th Quarter Lead | THE SCRIPT
    2026/09/16
    Dave Holmes, Cardale Jones and Beanie Wells break down Ohio State football's heartbreaking loss to Texas — how a 20-point fourth-quarter lead slipped away, what went wrong on defense against Arch Manning, and what it means for the Ohio State Buckeyes moving forward. Cardale and Beanie go unfiltered on linebacker play, run fits, pass-rush pressure, and why Ohio State couldn't get off the field on crucial downs. On offense, the crew examines Julian Sayin's decision-making, red-zone execution, fourth-down calls, spreading the ball beyond Jeremiah Smith, and whether the Buckeyes left points on the board. Plus: Should Ohio State have let Texas score late? The missed field goal, Ryan Day's big-game narrative, what "finishing" must look like, and what needs cleaned up vs Kent State — more one-on-one wins up front, improved linebacker play, and getting Buckeye playmakers involved. Cardale also addresses his Texas prediction backlash, plus a quick look around the Big Ten including Michigan and Bryce Underwood.

    2026/09/09
    Ohio State football opened the season with a 56-3 win over Ball State, and now the real test arrives: the Buckeyes are headed to Austin for a massive showdown with the Texas Longhorns. On this episode of The Script, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes break down Ohio State’s dominant opener, starting with Julian Sayin’s poise, accuracy and command of the passing game. Jeremiah Smith looked every bit like the best wide receiver in college football, while freshman playmaker Legend Bey showed why Buckeye fans are already so excited about his future. Should Texas be favored at home? How electric—and chaotic—will Austin be for a night game featuring two college football powers? And what is Ohio State’s best plan for slowing down Arch Manning, Cam Coleman and the Texas offense? Plus, we make fun of Michigan once again after its latest escape act—and discuss why Bryce Underwood’s underwhelming play has Wolverines fans worried.

    Ohio State Football Season is Upon Us! Can Julian Sayin's Buckeyes Clear 9.5 Wins? | The Script
    2026/09/02
    On the latest edition of The Script... Week 1 is here, and Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and Dave Holmes are setting the table for Ohio State’s 2026 season! What does success look like in the opener against Ball State? Who needs to emerge on defense? And can Julian Sayin take another step while leading one of the most talented offenses in the country? Then, we break down the Buckeyes’ 9.5-projected win total giving you game-by-game schedule predictions as we navigate our way through the most challenging 5-game stretch in all of college football. We'll also contemplate whether a 9-3 Ohio State team could still reach the College Football Playoff, and we'll identify the games that may prove to be sneaky difficult. Plus, the guys reflect on Jim Tressel’s amazing career as he prepares to go into the Ohio State Ring of Honor. We’ll discuss what made him such a special coach and how his arrival changed the trajectory of the program. Cardale also shares what it was like to think he'd be playing for Coach Tress only to wind up playing for the much different Urban Meyer. And with 59 Buckeyes on NFL rosters—including every Ohio State draft pick from the last two years—the crew celebrates the program’s ability to develop talent before making over/under calls on Carnell Tate, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Terry McLaurin. #OhioStateFootball #Buckeyes #CollegeFootball #JulianSayin #CardaleJones #BeanieWells #CarnellTate #MarvinHarrisonJr #JaxonSmithNjigba #ArthurSmith #JimTressel 00:00 Intro 00:57 What do you want to see vs Ball State? 05:16 What can we bank on with 2026 Buckeyes? 7:30 Jim Tressel going into OSU Ring of Honor 15:25 OSU offense leveling-up under Arthur Smith 19:09 Will Buckeyes go over 9.5 wins? 34:57 Ohio State thriving in the NFL! 36:26 Over/Unders for OSU alumni Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!

    Will Julian Sayin Make the Leap in Year 2? 7 OSU Captains?! Top 12 CFP Teams. CFB is a Mess.
    2026/08/26
    The Script is back with Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes breaking down the biggest Ohio State football stories of the week. The Buckeyes have named seven team captains for the 2026 season, including quarterback Julian Sayin. Is seven captains too many, and what does Sayin earning that honor say about the next step he is taking as Ohio State’s leader? The guys discuss the rave reviews from camp, his growth in Ryan Day’s offense and why the Buckeyes are banking on a major year 2 leap from their quarterback. Then, college football’s eligibility rules get even more ridiculous. With former NFL players potentially returning to college, Cardale, Beanie and Dave react to the latest development and what it could mean for the sport moving forward. Plus, the crew builds its 12-team College Football Playoff field before the season kicks off. Which teams are locks, which contenders are being overlooked, and where do Ohio State, Texas, LSU, Penn State and Michigan fit? They also examine whether Michigan’s pursuit of Drew Mestemaker means the Wolverines are losing faith in Bryce Underwood. Finally, the guys react to Deshaun Watson’s struggles, his response to Browns fans, and why Cleveland’s quarterback situation remains a mess before saluting Nick Chubb and his legendary football career. #OhioStateFootball #Buckeyes #CollegeFootball #CFBPlayoff #JulianSayin #CardaleJones #BeanieWells #ClevelandBrowns #NickChubb #DeshaunWatson #michiganfootball 00:00 The Script begins 00:40 Ohio State names seven captains 05:56 Julian Sayin’s Year 2 leap 10:45 College football eligibility rules are out of control 18:04 Building the 12-team College Football Playoff 35:31 Is Michigan losing faith in Bryce Underwood? 42:35 Deshaun Watson, Browns fans and Cleveland’s QB mess 50:09 Saluting Nick Chubb’s legendary career Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!

    Ohio State #1, Senior Day Changes, Michigan Meltdown, NFL Buckeyes Thrive | The Script
    2026/08/19
    Cardale Jones is fresh off a visit to Ohio State training camp, and he’s got plenty to say about what he saw from the Buckeyes. On this episode of The Script, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes break down the biggest Ohio State football storylines as the 2026 season gets closer. Cardale gives his firsthand impressions from Buckeyes camp, including what he saw from Julian Sayin, Tavien St. Clair and the Ohio State defense. The guys also react to Ohio State being ranked No. 1 in the AP preseason poll for the first time since 2015 — and debate how much preseason rankings actually matter. Then, a major Ohio State tradition is changing. Senior Day is moving to the season opener against Ball State, rather than the final home game, sparking a passionate reaction from Cardale and Beanie about what Senior Day means to Buckeye players. Plus, Michigan keeps talking. Bryce Underwood calls Ohio State “just another game,” while Kyle Whittingham continues to downplay the hatred in college football’s biggest rivalry. The crew explains why Michigan might want to reconsider that approach. Could Ohio State also have a backup quarterback controversy brewing between Tavien St. Clair and freshman Luke Fahey? Finally, we check in on former Buckeyes making noise during the NFL preseason, including Caden Curry, Will Howard, Jack Sawyer and Marvin Harrison Jr. Subscribe for more Ohio State Buckeyes football coverage from The Script. 00:00 INTRO 01:00 Cardale at camp 03:00 Ohio State #1 AP Poll 04:45 Senior Day changes 12:00 Michigan says OSU is just another game 17:45 Michigan NFL Draft busts 23:00 Camp battles and update 35:45 Jayden Daniels LOL Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!

  • Training Camp Begins! Running Back by Committee? Strength of Defense? Kicking Game Stinks! | Script

    Training Camp Begins! Running Back by Committee? Strength of Defense? Kicking Game Stinks! | Script
    2026/08/12
    Ohio State football training camp is heating up, and The Script presented by Dr Pepper is breaking down the biggest questions surrounding the Buckeyes as the season approaches. In this episode, Beanie Wells, Cardale Jones and Dave Holmes dive into the latest from Ohio State camp, starting with the Buckeyes’ running back room. Is a running back by committee the right approach, or will one player emerge as the clear No. 1 option? The crew discusses the competition, what Ohio State needs from the position and which backs could make an early impact. Also, does Legend Bey’s early suspension mean anything, or is it much ado about nothing? The conversation then turns to the Ohio State defense and a defensive backfield that could become one of the team’s biggest strengths. The guys discuss the talent in the secondary, including players making noise in camp and what that group could mean for the Buckeyes this season. Plus, there’s concern about the Ohio State kicking game. Baylor transfer Connor Hawkins arrived with high expectations, but missed kicks in practice have raised questions. How much should Buckeye fans worry, and can Ryan Day create enough game-like pressure in camp to know what his kickers will do on Saturdays? Plus, J.T. Barrett is elected to the Ohio State Hall of Fame, JSN and Jeremiah Smith earn coveted 99 video game ratings, and the Buckeyes land another elite prep quarterback for the future.
