Beanie brought this up on The Script and that's obviously the dream scenario.

The last time Ohio State had two legit starting-caliber backs sharing the workload, Judkins and Henderson helped them win a national championship and both ended up going in the second round.

Now Isaiah West is getting first-team reps and Beanie thinks his explosiveness and low center of gravity could make him a perfect complement to Bo.

I'm not saying they're Judkins and Henderson yet, but could this backfield eventually get close to that level?

AJ McCarron talked about Alabama's QB situation on the new Dynasty episode and made an interesting distinction between Austin Mack's experience in the system and Keelon Russell actually doing it against SEC competition.

With FSU getting Alabama in Week 3, I'm curious which QB Seminole fans would rather see.

Mack has more experience in the system, but Russell probably brings the higher ceiling.

Who would you rather Alabama start against FSU?

AJ McCarron got into this on the new episode of The Dynasty and I thought it was a pretty interesting point.

He was explaining how much responsibility he used to have at the line.

Identifying fronts, linebacker positioning, safety rotation and getting the offense out of a bad run look.

Then he joked that nowadays 95% of college QBs just turn to the sideline like, “Is the play good, coach?”

Obviously 95% is an exaggeration, but I get what he's saying. With how much information coaches can give QBs before the snap now, do you think we've lost some of the value of having a QB truly run the offense at the line?

Or is this just offenses getting smarter?

Landon Donovan was talking about his Everton days on Unfiltered Soccer and said Steven Pienaar was the best player he played with there.

It got me thinking about players from that era who were really, really good but don't get brought up much anymore because they weren't necessarily superstars.

Who is your club's version of that?

A player who people who actually watched every week know was quality, but doesn't get remembered enough outside the fanbase?

Landon Donovan and Tim Howard were going through old lineups on Unfiltered Soccer and Donovan got onto the topic of his time at Everton.

He said people ask him who the best player he played with at Everton was and, while Cahill obviously has the numbers, his answer was Steven Pienaar.

He talked about how Everton got Pienaar from Dortmund and basically immediately realized how good he was.

For Everton fans who watched that era, how good was Pienaar at his peak? And who would you say was the best player on those Moyes teams?

Sayin gave a pretty interesting self-evaluation on The Triple Option.

He said he's been working on cleaner feet in the pocket, better pocket presence and recognizing when nothing is there and he needs to take off and pick up a first down with his legs.

That last one especially stood out to me. There were definitely times last year where it felt like he could've taken the easy yards.

What's the ONE part of Sayin's game you most want to see improve this season?

Julian Sayin was on The Triple Option talking about Ohio State's schedule and specifically mentioned how excited the team is to go out to USC.

Sayin is obviously a Southern California guy himself, so that's a pretty cool storyline too.

Where does the Ohio State game rank among the ones USC fans are most excited for this season?

Julian Sayin talked on The Triple Option about Ohio State's schedule and specifically mentioned how excited the team is to go down to Austin early in the year.

It's one of the games that jumps off the schedule immediately.

From the Texas side, how big of an advantage do you think DKR actually gives the Horns in this matchup?

And what's the matchup you're most confident Texas can exploit against OSU?

The Script was talking about Ohio State landing a 2028 QB and Cardale Jones basically said he doesn't really buy into these things until the player is actually on campus.

If your school gets a five-star commitment three years out, are you actually excited? Or is recruiting so volatile now that you don't care until signing day?

The Script was talking about JT Barrett going into the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame and it got me thinking about where he actually belongs among modern OSU quarterbacks.

JT doesn't have the Heisman like Troy or the highlight reel of Braxton/Fields, but 4-0 against Michigan and all those records are pretty hard to argue with.

How are you ranking these four based strictly on their Ohio State careers?

James Peoples apparently said he intends to cross paths with Ohio State this season, which would have to happen in the Big Ten Championship or playoff.

The guys on The Script had some fun with it. Beanie Wells basically said he respects Peoples saying it, but doesn't think he actually wants to see this Ohio State defense.

I'd LOVE to get that matchup now.

If Penn State and OSU meet in Indy or the playoff, how do you think Peoples would do against this defense?

Beanie Wells made the case on The Script for Ohio State going back to a true two-back approach with Bo Jackson and Isaiah West.

His point was basically that there's no reason to run one guy into the ground anymore when you have two talented backs, especially with how long the season can be.

I'm with him, but if Bo looks anything like he did late last year, it's going to be hard not to feed him.

If both are healthy, how would you split the carries?

AJ McCarron was describing his first college camp on The Dynasty podcast and said everything was moving so fast that sometimes he'd basically just find a veteran QB and follow wherever he went.

Trent Richardson also talked about how much more there is to playing RB than just getting the ball.

Which position has the steepest jump from high school to major college football?

QB feels like the obvious answer, but OL or safety might have an argument here.
