  • Ohio State QB Battle at Camp, Buckeyes Best Freak Athletes & McLaurin’s Trade Drama | The Script

    Ohio State QB Battle at Camp, Buckeyes Best Freak Athletes & McLaurin’s Trade Drama | The Script
    Aug 6 2025
    Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes return with a new episode of The Script: A Podcast on the Ohio State Buckeyes. Training camp is in full swing in Columbus, and the quarterback battle is heating up. Many believe it’s Julian Sayin’s job to lose, but Lincoln Kienholz — recently named an Iron Buckeye for his offseason work — is making things interesting. Is there a real competition, or is it all for show? The guys break it down along with other major camp headlines. Later, they discuss some of the biggest athletic freaks to ever wear the scarlet and gray. Caleb Downs is already drawing NFL comparisons, but is it too soon to call him a top-five safety at the next level? Beanie and Cardale respectively push back on the hype while sharing stories about the most explosive athletes they ever played with — including a few names that could’ve gone pro straight out of high school. Jeremiah Smith tops Bruce Feldman’s annual Freaks List, and the crew agrees: he might be ready for the NFL right now. Plus, Cardale and Beanie reflect on the Buckeyes who would’ve thrived in the league if NCAA rules didn’t keep them in school. With help from our partners at Prime Sportsbook, the team looks at Michigan’s 8.5-win total and whether the Wolverines are primed for another step back. Spoiler: Beanie’s taking the under. Finally, we dive into the Terry McLaurin situation in Washington. After requesting a trade, is McLaurin making the right move at this stage in his career? The guys weigh in with support from Buckeye Basement Solutions.

  • Buckeyes Begin Camp, Over/Unders for NFL Buckeyes & Shemar Stewart Drama in Cincinnati | The Script

    Buckeyes Begin Camp, Over/Unders for NFL Buckeyes & Shemar Stewart Drama in Cincinnati | The Script
    Jul 23 2025
    Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes return with a new episode of The Script: A Podcast on the Ohio State Buckeyes. This week, Beanie, Cardale, and Dave reflect on the annual Special Skills Invitational held at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, an event that gives young people with special needs the chance to meet current Buckeyes. While Cardale was hosting his own youth camp, Dave was on-site for the Invitational and shares what makes the event so meaningful. Plus, the guys look back on a dramatic end to Cardale’s celebrity charity softball game, where he delivered a walk-off home run to win it. Plus, Beanie reveals he might not be a baseball star—but he’s got skills on the pickleball court. Then, Summer is almost over and Cardale and Beanie compare today’s fall training camps to their playing days—and let’s just say, things have gotten a lot easier. And you don't want to miss Cardale's ESPYs story about ... Ronda Rousey?! In our partnership with Prime Sportsbook, the crew checks in on Buckeyes in the NFL: Will C.J. Stroud throw over 21 touchdowns? Can Justin Fields hit 15+? What can we expect from Marvin Harrison Jr. in his 2nd season? Those plus we will take a look at a couple more Buckeyes in the NFL's projected numbers. Finally, in this week’s Buckeye Basement Solutions segment, the guys dive into the situation with rookie Shemar Stewart and why he remains unsigned in Cincinnati. They also break down Garrett Wilson’s new contract and discuss why Terry McLaurin could be next in line for a deal.

    Media Day Memories, Buckeyes Reloading on the DL, NFL Futures bets: Joe Burrow for MVP? | The Script
    Jul 16 2025
    Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes return for a new episode of "The Script," the podcast covering all things Ohio State Buckeyes. In this episode, the crew shares personal stories about Big Ten Media Days, including why neither Cardale nor Beanie ever attended during their playing careers. The discussion also touches on Ohio State’s approach to media training and how it prepares players for the spotlight. The group then reacts to the recent arrest of former Buckeyes running back Quinshon Judkins and discusses what it means for his future. As part of the Buckeyes Basement Solutions segment, the guys break down how Ohio State will handle the departure of all four starting defensive linemen and the exit of defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who left for Penn State. They also assess whether Matt Patricia can make a bigger impact on the defensive side of the ball. Later in the episode, thanks to the show's partnership with Prime Sportsbook, the team examines NFL futures, focusing on the AFC North. Will Joe Burrow and the Bengals take the division from Lamar Jackson and the Ravens? Can the Browns contend? And is Burrow a better MVP bet than Jackson or Josh Allen?
