Well, that didn’t take long. Ohio State marched down the field handing Michigan a balanced diet of both the run and pass. On third and goal, C.J. Stroud found Emeka Egbuka on a crossing route in the endzone while Michigan defenders were focused on Marvin Harrison Jr.
Pick your poison I guess.
It was the start the Buckeyes needed with the Wolverines choosing to defer to the second half. Miyan Willams started the game and then Chip Trayanum spelled him to get some big runs as well.
Now time to see how healthy Blake Corum is as the Buckeyes head to defense.
Check out the touchdown catch and then see the social media reactions.
