About this listen

 As Cardale Jones once famously said: “We ain’t come here to play school.” We came here to talk ball! Welcome to THE SCRIPT. Dave Holmes, Chris “Beanie” Wells, and Cardale Jones will guide you through the highs, lows, and everything in between on the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Big Ten, and the ever-changing world of college athletics.

Wells, 2x Team MVP and one of the most dominant running backs in Big Ten history, delivers insights from a player who lived the grind during the “Tressel Ball” era.

    Ohio State Dominates Purdue, Does Sayin Need Heisman Moment? Joey Galloway Said WHAT? | Script
    Nov 12 2025
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Dave Holmes, Cardale Jones, and Beanie Wells break down another business-as-usual win for the Buckeyes — this time over Purdue. The guys discuss Ryan Day’s willingness to win without style points and whether Julian Sayin can take home the Heisman without a true “Heisman moment.” Early in the episode, they debate if Day is easing off to keep his players fresh for the long haul or if he should keep his foot on the gas and dominate every opponent. Thanks to our friends at Prime Sportsbook, we take a look at the week’s biggest college football lines, share our best bets and parlays, and ask the question — is this the week we finally cash? The crew also dives into Ohio State’s running game struggles and how concerned fans should be with Michigan and the College Football Playoff still looming. Later, they preview the weekend’s top matchups, including Notre Dame vs. Pitt, despite Pat Narduzzi’s questionable comments. And finally, Joey Galloway’s take on the Big Ten sparks a heated reaction from the guys. Don’t miss this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes.

  • Julian Sayin Heisman Favorite, Buckeyes Cruising in Conference, Wild Coaching Carousel, Best Bets

    Julian Sayin Heisman Favorite, Buckeyes Cruising in Conference, Wild Coaching Carousel, Best Bets
    Nov 5 2025
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Dave Holmes, Cardale Jones, and Beanie Wells break down Ohio State’s massive win over Penn State, talk Heisman hype for Julian Sayin, and dive into the wild college football coaching carousel. Penn State’s season continues to spiral after firing James Franklin and the Buckeyes made them pay for it. Former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles learned that lesson the hard way after leaving Columbus for “greener pastures.” The guys also preview this weekend’s matchup against Purdue, where the Buckeyes are more than 30-point favorites. With our friends at Prime Sportsbook, we take a closer look at the latest Heisman race. Can Julian Sayin hold off Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Alabama’s Ty Simpson down the stretch? Hit the comments and tell us who you’re backing for the Heisman! Plus, we check out the biggest odds and lines across college football, including huge games like Indiana at Penn State and Oregon at Iowa. It’s a monster week in the Big Ten and across the country as playoff season heats up and yes, we’ve got our world-famous Script Parlay ready to cash. Thanks to our partners at Dr Pepper, we wrap up the show with a look around the chaotic coaching carousel. Auburn and Maryland are both looking for new head coaches, LSU’s governor is stepping into decision-making territory, and several other programs could soon follow. Finally, the guys debate whether Notre Dame deserves a playoff spot despite its early losses, how Texas has climbed back into the mix, and which teams are real contenders as we hit November. #sports #football #ohiostate #buckeyes #NFL Thank you to our sponsors: PRIME SPORTSBOOK: https://www.primesportsbook.com/ Get a 100% deposit match up to $500 by using promo code SCRIPT.

  • Buckeyes Rolling, Penn State Reeling, OSU Midseason Breakdown & RIP Nick Mangold | The Script

    Buckeyes Rolling, Penn State Reeling, OSU Midseason Breakdown & RIP Nick Mangold | The Script
    Oct 29 2025
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Dave Holmes, Cardale Jones, and Beanie Wells get you ready for what was supposed to be a heavyweight Big Ten showdown between Ohio State and Penn State — but things look a lot different now. The Nittany Lions come to Columbus on a four-game losing streak after firing head coach James Franklin and losing preseason Heisman hopeful QB Drew Allar. Meanwhile, the top-ranked Buckeyes continue to roll through everyone in their path on their march back to the national championship. A familiar face returns to The Shoe this weekend — former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, now leading Penn State’s defense. The guys break down what advantages he might bring against his former team and why they believe the Buckeyes are in even better hands this season with Matt Patricia calling the shots. At the halfway point of the season, Holmes, Wells, and Jones grade each position group — from QB Julian Sayin and the running backs to the defense and offensive line — and share their favorite moments of the year so far. Hit the comments and drop your own midseason grades for the squad! Thanks to our partners at Prime Sportsbook, the crew also looks beyond Columbus to the national picture, previewing the biggest college and NFL games of the weekend and unveiling this week’s world-famous parlay. Drop your best bets and tail along in the comments! Later, the guys dive into what’s going on with Brian Kelly at LSU and the latest from Colorado with Coach Prime. Finally, the show closes with a tribute to Buckeye legend Nick Mangold, who recently passed away. Thoughts and prayers to the Mangold family. #sports #football #ohiostate #buckeyes #NFL Thank you to our sponsors: PRIME SPORTSBOOK: https://www.primesportsbook.com/ Get a 100% deposit match up to $500 by using promo code SCRIPT.
