Emeka Egbuka got Ohio State on the scoreboard versus Northwestern. Ohio State fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Egbuka gave the offense a much needed boost after Ohio State was down 7-0 to Northwestern in the second quarter.

All Egbuka needed were some blocks on the outside to help him get the end zone. The Buckeye wideout scored on an 15-yard TD rush.

This game is a lot closer than people thought it would be going into halftime. Ohio State has not lost to Northwestern since 2004. It’s worth noting that the Buckeyes have had slow starts in their last three games, but ended up winning all of them regardless.

We’ll see what adjustments Ryan Day ends up making in the second half. Ohio State is tied with Northwestern at 7 after two quarters.
