Unforgettable Moments in College Football
A Masterclass in Playmaking
Emeka Egbuka’s exceptional performance throughout the season and in the College Football Playoff for Ohio State will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on NFL teams. However, one particular play stands out as a testament to his exceptional skill and football IQ.
Reading the Defense
During the national championship game, Egbuka astutely observed Notre Dame corner Christian Gray playing too far inside, anticipating Carnell Tate’s downfield attack. This keen observation would later prove crucial in the Buckeyes’ title-winning drive.
The Pivotal Play
Fast-forward to the thrilling throw to Jeremiah Smith, with the national championship hanging in the balance. Egbuka’s clever read of the defense allowed him to make a game-changing call, securing one of the most iconic plays in Ohio State history. It’s a moment that will be etched in the memories of Buckeyes fans for years to come.
A Lesson for Future Opponents
To all future OSU opponents, take heed: when facing a 3rd and long with the game on the line, avoid leaving your corner 1-on-1 with Smith at all costs. Egbuka’s masterclass in playmaking has set a precedent, and it’s a mistake you won’t want to repeat.
