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.

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, fifth-year tackle Ryan Baer and senior guard BJ Williams, for Players on Players. What's it like to line up next to the same guy for years on the right side of the offensive line? How have they changed since the day they met? And what does it take to keep a line steady through changes at quarterback?

Then, Jason Earle talks with new women's basketball head coach Robin Harmony, fresh off a championship season at the College of Charleston, about building a program from the ground up and bringing 11 newcomers together.
