The guys kick things off with a quick weekend recap, with Beanie hitting the golf course alongside Lawrence Taylor in South Florida, while Cardale spent time at Mar-a-Lago … From there, the focus shifts to spring football and the upcoming Pro Day, a crucial moment for draft-eligible players.

Rising star Sonny Styles is climbing mock draft boards, and the crew debates whether he should be the first Ohio State player selected. They also react to Jaxon Smith-Njigba winning a Super Bowl and making history with a massive new deal, sparking a bigger conversation about Ohio State’s pipeline of elite wide receivers to the NFL. Plus, Mark Titus stirs the pot with comments about Buckeye basketball fans after Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball fell to TCU Horned Frogs men's basketball in the tournament—was he out of line? The episode also dives into a new college football targeting rule change and what it could mean for the game moving forward.

  • Spring Football & NCAA Tournament + Best B1G QBs & Justin Fields in KC | The Script

    Spring Football & NCAA Tournament + Best B1G QBs & Justin Fields in KC | The Script
    Mar 18 2026
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes take a deep dive into spring football at THE Ohio State. The guys break down what it’s like getting back into spring practice after a long offseason and hit all the major storylines coming out of camp. With several first-round talents off to the NFL, the Buckeyes’ defense has big shoes to fill. Meanwhile, head coach Ryan Day has a strong track record with second-year quarterbacks, putting the spotlight on Julian Sayin heading into 2026. Plus, the Big Ten Conference is loaded with QB talent this year—so we rank the best in the conference. FanDuel Sportsbook has set Ohio State’s win total at a surprisingly low 9.5—why is that, and will the Buckeyes go over or under? The crew breaks it all down. We also discuss Matt Patricia’s recent extension and whether he’s worth being the highest-paid assistant coach in the country. March Madness is here, and both Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball and Ohio State Buckeyes women's basketball are dancing. The men earned an 8-seed and will face TCU, while the women secured a 3-seed and host Howard—with a potential matchup against Notre Dame looming. Later in the episode, presented by Buckeye Basement Solutions, we react to a major NFL move: Justin Fields has been traded from the New York Jets to the Kansas City Chiefs. Will Fields see the field in Kansas City while Patrick Mahomes recovers? We dive into what it all means. #sports #football #nfl #ohiostate Thank you to our sponsors: BUCKEYE BASEMENT SOLUTIONS: https://buckeyebasementsolutions.com/ If you live in Central Ohio and want to keep your basement dry and your foundation strong, call Buckeye Basement Solutions today at (614) 956-4592 or visit BuckeyeBasementSolutions.com New episodes of THE SCRIPT drop every Wednesday throughout the off-season.

  • Ohio State at NFL Combine: Sonny & Lorenzo Styles Dominate, Questions about Caleb Downs | SCRIPT

    Ohio State at NFL Combine: Sonny & Lorenzo Styles Dominate, Questions about Caleb Downs | SCRIPT
    Mar 4 2026
    On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes kick things off with a full recap of the NFL Scouting Combine — and it was a big week for the Buckeyes in Indianapolis. The Styles family stole the spotlight. Sonny Styles backed up the top-10 hype with a huge showing, while his brother Lorenzo Styles Jr. also turned heads. Cardale reminds everyone he called it weeks ago. We break down what their performances mean for their NFL futures and run through the measurables from other Buckeyes who impressed, including Arvell Reese and Carnell Tate. From elite performances to major questions — we shift to a report surrounding Caleb Downs and recent medical concerns. Downs has been viewed as a future NFL star, but could health issues impact his long-term outlook? The guys break down what it all could mean. Thanks to our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, we also dive into the upcoming meeting featuring Donald Trump and other major sports figures aimed at addressing the future of college athletics. While we’re not solving college sports overnight, the crew offers their own advice — especially as states like Mississippi pass new NIL laws making student-athlete earnings tax-free. What does that mean for recruiting and the balance of power in college football? Basketball is heating up, too. Bruce Thornton and Ohio State Buckeyes men's basketball picked up their biggest win of the season over Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball — is it enough to punch a ticket to March Madness? In the NFL, the Cleveland Browns break ground on a new indoor stadium, sparking a debate: should the Browns be indoors or battling the elements? And speaking of Cleveland, what should the team do with Deshaun Watson, who’s in line to start Week 1 in what could be the final year of his massive contract? We wrap things up with one of the most entertaining promos in sports, as the Atlanta Hawks plan to honor Magic City later this season. From Indy to Columbus to Cleveland and beyond — this episode covers it all. . #sports #football #nfl #ohiostate Thank you to our sponsors: BUCKEYE BASEMENT SOLUTIONS: https://buckeyebasementsolutions.com/ If you live in Central Ohio and want to keep your basement dry and your foundation strong, call Buckeye Basement Solutions today at (614) 956-4592 or visit BuckeyeBasementSolutions.com New episodes of THE SCRIPT drop every Wednesday throughout the off-season.
