Ohio State football went up to East Lansing for the Buckeyes’ first real road test, and they came out with a dominant victory over Michigan State. Ohio State won 38-7, taking a 24-7 lead into the half.
While Jeremiah Smith was the receiver that caught most of the attention with his insane one-handed grabs, Emeka Egbuka, who has been Mr. Consistent for this team, led the team in receiving yards with 96.
He had seven receptions and a 33-yard touchdown as well. Here’s his top highlight from the game, outside of the numerous big-time blocks he had as well.
Buckeyes add 6 more!

Egbuka inched closer to the Buckeyes’ all-time receiving record. Michael Jenkins, with bowl stats included, had 2,746 yards with Chris Olave second and Marvin Harrison Jr. fourth.
With this performance, Egbuka jumped Garrett Wilson to land 10th on the all-time list. He’s 76 yards shy of Santonio Holmes. In 528 yards, which he is certainly on pace to do with a 90.5-yard average and 8 games remaining, he will have the crown.
