Emeka Egbuka rips off big gain for Ohio State, sets up crucial FG in The Game
Published:
The 2022 edition of The Game has lived up to all expectations so far.
Halfway through the 4th quarter, Michigan led Ohio State 31-20. Down by 2 scores, the Buckeyes needed a big play. Emeka Egbuka answered the call, catching a pass across the middle and advancing for a 44-yard gain.

Near the end of regulation, Egbuka has racked up 8 catches for 114 yards and 1 TD.
The big play set the Buckeyes up at the Michigan 15. Unfortunately, a couple of incompletions by C.J. Stroud would stall the drive and the team settled for a 27-yard field goal to make it a 31-23 game.
The FG made it a one-possession game at that time. Ending that drive without points could have put the Buckeyes in serious trouble.
