Welcome back to Beyond the Script — the podcast that takes you inside Pitt Athletics, past the press conferences and into the real conversations. Host Jason Earle sits down with the people making it happen, and this week, that means handing the mic over.
Freshman Elli Johnson (women's soccer) and senior Jack Moxom (men's soccer) had never met before this episode — so instead of Jason asking the questions, the two goalies interview each other.
Recorded on 9/1, before both had ever spoken, the conversation covers what it's actually like living between the pipes, how talking to your defense changes from program to program, and the saves each of them still thinks about. Two goalies, no host in the middle, comparing notes on a position only they really understand.
Plus — a look back at a big weekend across Pitt Athletics, from Mason Heintschel's record-setting day in football's season-opening win to volleyball's climb to 6-0, and a look ahead to what's coming next for the Panthers.

Welcome to Beyond the Script — the podcast that takes you inside Pitt Athletics, past the press conferences and into the real conversations. Host Jason Earle sits down with the coaches, athletes, and administrators who are doing the work every day to build something special in Pittsburgh.
For this special episode, Jason hands the mic over to two of Pitt's own — defensive tackle Jeremiah Warren and linebacker Alex Sanford Jr. — for Players on Players. What's it really like lining up next to each other on defense every day? What was it like transferring into the program and finding their footing at Pitt? And how competitive are these two with each other, really?
Jeremiah and Alex take over the conversation in this special edition of the show that takes you inside Pitt Athletics — beyond the script.
