The pressure cooker is heating up in Columbus. And we are living inside the obsession with Joe as we countdown to game day. Every kick. Every scrimmage. Every moment counts.

The Buckeyes have made the call on their quarterback, Julian Sayin. But for Joe, and the battle for the number one punting role, the wait continues. Stress builds. Doubts creep in. Obsession takes hold. Six punts at training can feel like six sliding doors moments. It is do or die.

In this bonus, behind-the-scenes episode, Joe reveals what life is like on the edge of the decision. From clearing his head on a world-class golf course, to navigating the delicate relationship with his teammate and rival Nick, to the perks of being a Buckeye—custom Beats headphones and all.

Episode 8 takes us right inside the tension of Fall Camp—where every boot, every bounce, and every conversation matters. The punt. The pressure. The unknown. The dream.
