Emeka Egbuka on lack of success vs. Michigan: ‘We can’t leave here without Gold Pants’

Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison and plenty others from a stacked 2021 Ohio State recruiting class have achieved a lot. But they’ve never beaten Michigan and they’ve never received the gold pants pin for beating That Team Up North.
Egbuka, a star wide receiver for the Buckeyes, wants that narrative to chance this year.
Ohio State’s 2021 class featured Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka, TreVeyon Henderson, Denzel Burke, JT Tuimoloau and others.
That class has yet to beat Michigan.
On Tuesday, Egbuka said, “Everyone in my class, we feel like we can’t leave here without Gold Pants.”

The Buckeyes are one step closer to making the CFP with a win over Michigan this Saturday, and they’ll need more from their offense if that’s going to be achieved. The Buckeyes defense has been one of the best in college football this season.
Egbuka has yet to have a game over 100 yards receiving this season, perhaps partially due to the Biletnikoff candidate Marvin Harrison Jr. lining up alongside him. Ohio State has no shortage of weapons, let’s see how they use them against a stout Wolverines defense.
