Ohio State #1, Senior Day Changes, Michigan Meltdown, NFL Buckeyes Thrive | The Script

Cardale Jones is fresh off a visit to Ohio State training camp, and he’s got plenty to say about what he saw from the Buckeyes. On this episode of The Script, Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes break down the biggest Ohio State football storylines as the 2026 season gets closer. Cardale gives his firsthand impressions from Buckeyes camp, including what he saw from Julian Sayin, Tavien St. Clair and the Ohio State defense. The guys also react to Ohio State being ranked No. 1 in the AP preseason poll for the first time since 2015 — and debate how much preseason rankings actually matter. Then, a major Ohio State tradition is changing. Senior Day is moving to the season opener against Ball State, rather than the final home game, sparking a passionate reaction from Cardale and Beanie about what Senior Day means to Buckeye players. Plus, Michigan keeps talking. Bryce Underwood calls Ohio State “just another game,” while Kyle Whittingham continues to downplay the hatred in college football’s biggest rivalry. The crew explains why Michigan might want to reconsider that approach. Could Ohio State also have a backup quarterback controversy brewing between Tavien St. Clair and freshman Luke Fahey? Finally, we check in on former Buckeyes making noise during the NFL preseason, including Caden Curry, Will Howard, Jack Sawyer and Marvin Harrison Jr. Subscribe for more Ohio State Buckeyes football coverage from The Script. 00:00 INTRO 01:00 Cardale at camp 03:00 Ohio State #1 AP Poll 04:45 Senior Day changes 12:00 Michigan says OSU is just another game 17:45 Michigan NFL Draft busts 23:00 Camp battles and update 35:45 Jayden Daniels LOL Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!
