Ohio State Stays HOT, Defense Better Than Last Year? Sayin Solid and Scary Schedule? | The Script

49 minutes

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 convincing Ohio State win — this time in a tough road environment against the Washington Huskies in Seattle.

The Husky Stadium Sailgate was scenic, but it looked even better with scarlet and gray celebrating a road victory. Coming in, all eyes were on Julian Sayin’s first true road test and the Buckeye defense. Sayin held steady, while Caden Curry — the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week — led a defense that continues to look elite.

Cardale and Beanie debate whether this defense might actually be better than last year’s national championship squad. With a new coordinator and eight fresh starters, the dominance has fans buzzing. What do you think? Drop your take in the comments.

Meanwhile, Bo Jackson has officially taken over as RB1 in Columbus, and Beanie might be taking some credit for it. With two of Ohio State’s toughest matchups already behind them, the guys look ahead and rate how “scared” they are of the upcoming slate — Illinois, Wisconsin, Penn State and of course, The Game against Michigan.

After the break, our friends at Prime Sportsbook help us run through the odds around college football and the NFL, plus we lock in our parlay for next weekend. Beanie’s on a heater — can the rest of us catch up?

Finally, the crew takes a deep dive into last weekend’s biggest games, previews the key matchups ahead, and with the help of Buckeye Basement Solutions, ask the question: why do Kirby Smart and Ryan Day struggle against their biggest rivals?

And how could we forget, happy birthday Cardale Jones!
