Freshman Tracker: Marvin Harrison Jr. scores three touchdowns, Emeka Egbuka dazzles on offense and kick returns and Utah avoided Denzel Burke.
Late in the first quarter, Emeka Egbuka made a sensational, toe-tapping catch on the Utah sideline. Three plays after the 30-yard reception, Ohio State scored its first touchdown of the game.
When given a gap, Egbuka has the explosiveness to make massive returns. As seen in the video above, he almost scored on this return. Unfortunately, Julian Fleming was flagged for a very questionable holding penalty. Jordan Noyes kicked deep to Egbuka who caught the ball at the nine-yard line. He ran with authority and was a step away from possibly scoring on this return. Although he was stopped, Egbuka's 33-yard return gave the Buckeyes the ball near midfield and set up the game-winning drive.Opposing teams respect Denzel Burke's skillset and Utah fell in line. The Utes threw Burke's way twice on Saturday. The result? One completion for 23 yards and the broken up pass below.
Burke became the first Buckeye defensive back to start every game of his true freshman year. Respect.J.T. Tuimoloau finished the Rose Bowl with three tackles including a three-yard tackle-for-loss.
