THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes break down all the latest Ohio State football headlines from the past few weeks.

The guys dive into Ryan Day’s son, RJ Day, committing to play for Chip Kelly and the Northwestern Wildcats, react to Ohio State’s brand-new Tunnel Vision uniforms, and celebrate the historic NFL Draft success of the Buckeyes’ 2024 national championship defense.

Plus, they discuss the lasting impact of Ted Ginn Sr. on generations of Ohio State athletes and debate whether LeBron James should return to Cleveland to finish his legendary NBA career.

Will RJ Day thrive under Chip Kelly in Chicago, or could things get awkward between Ohio State and its former assistant coach? Cardale and Beanie give their thoughts on one of the more fascinating offseason storylines in college football.

The crew also has plenty of fun reacting to Ohio State’s new uniforms and shares their favorite Buckeye jersey combinations of all time — along with what they’d love to see next from the program.

After a historic NFL Draft that saw all 11 starters from Ohio State’s 2024 championship defense get selected, the guys reflect on what made that defense so special and what it means for the Buckeyes moving forward.

Later in the show, thanks to our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, the crew discusses proposed changes to the college football calendar, including conference championship games, the exclusivity of the Army-Navy game, and possible scheduling changes across the sport.

Plus, Julian Sayin made headlines with his recent comments on The Triple Option with Urban Meyer, and the crew breaks down everything the future Buckeye QB had to say. And don’t miss next week’s episode featuring special guest Urban Meyer.

Finally, with LeBron James and the Lakers eliminated from the playoffs, the guys ask the big question: should LeBron return to Cleveland and end his iconic career where it all began?

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes break down a historic NFL Draft for THE Ohio State Buckeyes. The guys dive into every major pick, biggest surprises, and what it all means for the newest Buckeyes heading to the league.

Ohio State showed out in a big way, and the crew spotlights standouts like Carnell Tate, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, and Caleb Downs—explaining where they landed and why their games should translate at the next level.

From there, the conversation shifts to some of the biggest national storylines from draft weekend, including the Cleveland Browns’ widely praised draft class. Yes… the Browns getting universal love? It happened. (Shoutout to Buckeye Basement Solutions for bringing you this segment.)

Beanie also shares a wild behind-the-scenes moment, explaining how he somehow predicted Ty Simpson landing with the Rams—and why it wasn’t as random as it seemed. Plus, the guys discuss Diego Pavia going undrafted and debate whether his best path forward is the UFL or a backup role in Baltimore.

To close things out, THE SCRIPT tackles some off-field headlines, including the latest developments in the Mike Vrabel saga and a broader conversation about accountability for coaches. The episode wraps with a look at the growing gambling concerns in college football, highlighted by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby’s situation.

A packed episode you don’t want to miss.

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off by recapping Ohio State’s spring game before diving headfirst into all things NFL Draft — including some great draft day stories from Cardale and Beanie.

Heisman hopeful Julian Sayin impressed during the spring game, but it may have been phenom Tavien St. Clair who stole the spotlight at quarterback. The guys break down both QBs and give their honest evaluations heading into the season.

Freshman wide receiver Chris Henry Jr. also turned heads with a standout performance. Despite just recently losing his black stripe, the highly touted playmaker is already generating major buzz. Could he be a Week 1 starter? The crew weighs in.

After covering everything you need to know from the spring game, the focus shifts to the NFL Draft. Ohio State could make history with four top-10 picks — but how realistic is it? Plus, the best landing spots for Buckeye stars like Arvell Reese, Carnell Tate, Caleb Downs, and Sonny Styles.

Later, Cardale and Beanie take a trip down memory lane, sharing their draft day experiences, the players taken ahead of them, and whether they thought they were better than some of those names.

To wrap things up, the guys react to a bold move by the Bengals, who go all-in by trading the No. 10 pick for superstar defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence. Smart gamble or big mistake? We break it all down.

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off with Beanie recapping his weekend at The Masters—including going TEN (!) hours without his phone. Could you do it?

With Ohio State Buckeyes football spring game right around the corner, the guys take a deep dive into what to expect this weekend. Jeremiah Smith may not see much action, but there will still be plenty to watch—some hitting, familiar faces, and exciting newcomers like Arthur Smith, Chris Henry Jr., and Tavien St. Clair showing what they can do. Who are you most excited to see?

The crew also dives into Jeremiah Smith’s headline-making offseason after he revealed he could’ve made over $10M by transferring—but chose to stay because Ohio State is home.

Plus, head coach Ryan Day made waves during his appearance on The Cam Heyward Podcast, reflecting on games that slipped away and setting a high bar for future Buckeyes: if you want to play at Ohio State, you better be a first- or second-round pick.

The statement sparked debate among former players, and the guys weigh in. Do you agree with Day? Let us know in the comments 👇

On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off with a little spring break divide—Beanie’s soaking up the sun in Florida with his kids, while Cardale and Dave are grinding it out back in the Midwest.

The Buckeyes finally received their Gold Pants after last season’s win over the team up north, and the guys break down what that tradition means—not just for current players, but for coaches, alumni, and the entire Ohio State program.

Things get interesting when superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith reveals that another program tried to lure him into the transfer portal. He didn’t name names—but we did. The crew reacts to the attempted tampering and explains why Smith shutting it down says everything about where Ohio State stands.

We also dive into ESPN’s rankings of the top Ohio State wide receiver prospects since 2022 and debate where Carnell Tate stacks up against the recent stars to come out of Columbus. Drop your rankings in the comments and join the conversation.

Plus, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky stirred things up by calling Alabama’s Ty Simpson the best QB in this year’s draft over Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Cardale and Beanie weigh in on that take and whether it holds up.

Transfer talk continues as Josh Hoover heads from TCU to Indiana to replace Mendoza. Cardale has been high on Hoover all offseason, but TCU head coach Sonny Dykes recently criticized his turnover issues. The guys react and break down what to expect next.

Presented by our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, we also tackle a bigger conversation: Florida’s push to eliminate the Rooney Rule—and how the rule could be improved moving forward.

To close things out, we ask the ultimate fan question: when it comes to March Madness, are you rooting for the Big Ten… or never cheering for the team up north under any circumstances?
