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 another dominant win for Ohio State but are their bigger concerns on the way?

The Buckeyes rolled past UCLA 48–10, but injuries to top wideouts Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate raise questions. Were the Buckeyes just being cautious, or should fans be concerned after the offense looked noticeably different without its two stars?

With OSU’s biggest playmakers sidelined, new faces had the chance to shine — including running back James Peoples, who delivered in a big way. The guys highlight this week’s breakout players and discuss who could be next.

Looking ahead to Rutgers, it’s easy to overlook the Scarlet Knights with The Game looming next weekend. Cardale and Beanie share how they handled the week before Michigan and whether they prefer a “cupcake” or a tougher challenge leading into rivalry week.

Later in the show, we go around the college football landscape, breaking down the lines and biggest matchups of the week. Is the OSU spread too high with injuries? Who wins the Big Ten showdown between USC and Oregon? And where are the potential upsets?

We also turn to the NFL, where two major storylines dominate: Shedeur Sanders getting the start and Ja’Marr Chase receiving a suspension for spitting on an opponent. Cardale and Beanie share some of the wildest things they've seen on a football field.

In the final stretch: a Michigan team finally had to vacate wins… but it was Michigan State. Did MSU and Mel Tucker get a raw deal compared to Michigan? The guys break it all down.
