Only once in Ohio State history has a kickoff returner ever had more yardage in a game than Emeka Egbuka did against Maryland.
Egbuka returned all four of Maryland’s kickoffs in Saturday’s game for a combined 166 yards, the second-most ever by an individual Ohio State player in a single game. Only Carlos Snow, who had 213 yards on five kickoff returns against Pittsburgh in 1988, has ever had more.
The true freshman wide receiver, who’s been Ohio State’s lead kickoff returner since the second game of the season, has provided a spark in the kickoff return game that the Buckeyes have been missing for years.
