On this week’s episode of THE SCRIPT: A Podcast on THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells, and host Dave Holmes break down the ongoing mess at Michigan.

While there’s no shortage of rivalry between Ohio State and the team up north, the conversation takes a serious turn as the Sherrone Moore situation escalates. The guys discuss the story respectfully, acknowledging that real lives have been impacted and that this goes far beyond jokes or rivalry banter. They examine how Moore’s decisions could have ripple effects well beyond Michigan, potentially costing others opportunities in the process.

Thanks to our friends at Dr Pepper, the show then pivots to a broader look around college football, starting with last weekend’s Heisman ceremony. Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin was a finalist but didn’t take home the trophy. However, the bigger controversy centers on Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who won Big Ten Receiver of the Year honors but somehow lost the Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s best wide receiver to USC’s Makai Lemon — another Big Ten player. The guys break down the head-scratching decision and why it still doesn’t add up. Shoutout to Caleb Downs who took home the award for the best DB in the country.

With most programs now in offseason mode, recruiting has ramped up following National Signing Day. In the era of NIL, there are plenty of success stories — but also some cautionary tales. One of those is the recruitment of Legend Bey. Bey initially signed with Tennessee before requesting and receiving a release, reopening his recruitment with Ohio State expected to be involved. Cardale, Beanie, and Dave unpack what happened, with Cardale sharing candid insight — and some wild examples — from the recruiting and NIL world.

Later in the show, and thanks to our friends at Buckeye Basement Solutions, the guys hit several other major football topics, including Marcus Freeman’s name popping up in NFL coaching rumors. Urban Meyer has already weighed in, but should Freeman stay at Notre Dame or make the jump to the NFL?

The conversation continues with former Buckeyes defensive coordinator Jim Knowles landing another job just one year after winning a national title in Columbus. The guys also react to NFL news, including Cardale’s former teammate Philip Rivers coming out of retirement in Indianapolis. The episode wraps with some lighter moments, sharing stories about playing football in brutal cold-weather conditions like we’ve seen across the country.
