Will Howard, Emeka Egbuka, Denzel Burke Among Buckeyes Who Could Set School Records in National Championship Game

Leave a reply


The only stat that matters in the national championship game is which team scores more points, but numerous Ohio State players will also have the chance to break school records and achieve statistical milestones in Monday night’s season finale.

The team as a whole would break a national record just by winning the game as Ohio State would become the first team ever to beat five teams who were ranked in the top five of the AP poll at the time the Buckeyes played them. Having already earned wins over No. 3 Penn State and No. 5 Indiana in the regular season, followed by wins over No. 1 Oregon and No. 4 Texas in the CFP quarterfinals and semifinals, Ohio State would break a tie with 2019 LSU, 1967 USC and 1943 Notre Dame with a win over 2024 Notre Dame, the No. 3 team in the AP poll that preceded the College Football Playoff.

There’s always the possibility that any single-game, College Football Playoff or national championship game record could be broken with a spectacular performance Monday night. There are also several season or career school records and milestones, though, that are well within reach of being broken by various Buckeyes in the final game of the season, which will also double as the final college football game for the likes of Will Howard, Emeka Egbuka, TreVeyon Henderson, Denzel Burke and potentially Quinshon Judkins, among others.

Howard could set completion percentage record

Entering the national championship game, Will Howard has completed 72.6% of his passing attempts across 15 games this season. If Howard’s completion percentage for the season remains at 72% or better after Monday night’s game, Howard would break Ohio State’s single-season completion percentage record, which was previously set at 71.9% by C.J. Stroud in 2021.

As long as Howard’s season-long completion percentage remains above 70%, Howard will also break OSU’s career completion percentage record, currently held by Dwayne Haskins.

Howard also has a chance to tie Craig Krenzel’s record for the most wins in a single season by an Ohio State quarterback with 14.

Egbuka could break career receiving records

Emeka Egbuka has a chance to break two of Ohio State’s three major career receiving records on Monday night.

The record Egbuka seems likely to break is Ohio State’s all-time receptions record, as he needs just three catches against Notre Dame to reach 202 for his career, which would surpass K.J. Hill’s record of 201 catches for his career.

The more challenging but still attainable record for Egbuka to break is Michael Jenkins’ record for career receiving yards. Entering Monday’s game with 2,804 career receiving yards, Egbuka needs 95 yards against the Fighting Irish to surpass Jenkins’ career mark of 2,898. Egbuka has surpassed 95 yards in a game 10 times in his Ohio State career, but he’ll need his first 95-yard game since September to break Jenkins’ record.

Egbuka needs only 53 yards against Notre Dame to reach 1,000 receiving yards for the season. If he reaches that milestone, he’ll become just the second receiver in Ohio State history with two 1,000-yard seasons, joining his former teammate Marvin Harrison Jr.

Henderson, Judkins could both reach 1,000

Both of Ohio State’s standout running backs enter the national championship game on the cusp of reaching 1,000 rushing yards for the season. Henderson has rushed for 967 yards and Judkins has rushed for 960 yards in Ohio State’s first 15 games of the year.

If Henderson rushes for 33 yards or more and Judkins rushes for 40 yards or more against Notre Dame, they’ll become just the third pair of Buckeyes to rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. Running backs Archie Griffin and Pete Johnson were the first Buckeye duo to accomplish the feat in 1975. Running back Carlos Hyde and quarterback Braxton Miller each topped 1,000 yards in 2013.

Henderson would become the 10th Buckeye with multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons, having rushed for 1,248 yards as a freshman in 2021. Judkins, who also surpassed 1,000 yards in both of his two previous collegiate seasons at Ole Miss, would be the 26th different Buckeye to rush for 1,000 yards in any season.

Burke could break record for most defensive starts

Assuming Denzel Burke returns to action and starts at cornerback for the Buckeyes against Notre Dame, he’ll make the 51st start of his four-year Ohio State career, breaking a tie with Luke Fickell for the most starts by a defensive player in Ohio State history.

Burke, who has started every game he’s played in as a Buckeye since starting the season opener in his freshman season in 2021, would move into second place for the most starts all-time by any Buckeye behind only Billy Price, who starts 55 games on Ohio State’s offensive line from 2014-17.



As the Ohio State Buckeyes prepare to face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, all eyes are on star players like quarterback Justin Fields and running back Trey Sermon. However, there are a few other Buckeyes who could also make history and set school records in the big game.

Wide receiver Chris Olave and tight end Jeremy Ruckert have been reliable targets for Fields all season, but it’s Will Howard, Emeka Egbuka, and Denzel Burke who could steal the spotlight on Monday night.

Howard, a freshman running back, has shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season and could be poised for a breakout performance in the championship game. If he can find the end zone a few times, he could set a new school record for most rushing touchdowns in a national championship game.

Egbuka, another freshman, has been a dynamic playmaker on special teams and in the receiving game. If he can break off a few big plays and rack up some yards, he could set a new school record for most receiving yards in a national championship game.

Burke, a freshman cornerback, has been a lockdown defender all season and has shown a knack for making big plays in crucial moments. If he can come up with a few interceptions or pass breakups in the championship game, he could set a new school record for most turnovers forced in a national championship game.

While all eyes will be on the Buckeyes’ stars, don’t be surprised if Howard, Egbuka, and Burke make a name for themselves and etch their names into the Ohio State record books in the national championship game.

Emeka Egbuka excited for second chance playing at Rose Bowl, second crack at Ducks

Leave a reply


During his true freshman season of 2021, the most playing time Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka received came in the finale against Utah in the Rose Bowl. In the Buckeyes’ 48-45 win, Egbuka had three receptions for 46 yards. Might not sound like a lot, but those accounted for one-third of his receptions and roughly one-fourth of his yardage totals for the season (9 catches, 191 yards).

Egbuka also had seven kickoff returns for 163 yards (23.3 yards per return) against the Utes.

Egbuka, who was ranked as the No. 1 wide receiver in the country in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports, will get a second chance at playing in the Rose Bowl on Wednesday. He will simultaneously get a second crack at Oregon this season, a team that defeated OSU 32-31 in Eugene on Oct. 12.

A third-team All-Big Ten selection as a senior in 2024, Egbuka has 65 receptions for 824 yards (12.7 yards per catch) and nine touchdowns on the season. That has pushed his impressive career totals to 189 catches for 2,681 yards (14.2 ypc) and 23 receiving touchdowns (to go along with two career rushing TDs).

On Monday, Egbuka met with the media in Los Angeles, and you can watch the video of his press conference here.

Egbuka, freshman Jeremiah Smith and sophomore Carnell Tate form what appears to be the best WR trio in the nation. Egbuka is overtly humble, but he was asked by a reporter to explain why OSU’s wide receivers are so productive.

“I think we’re a trustworthy group,” Egbuka said. “Whenever you see the ball coming in our direction, not too many bad things happen. So, that is what we hang our hat on. When the ball is in the air, something we have to do is make the play. And I think we have done that at a very high level.

“But that can’t stop now. We’re going into the most important game of the year. And then after this game, it’s going to be the next most important game of the year, and then the national championship. So, we’ve got to keep increasing and doing it at a level that no one else has done yet.”

Although the Buckeyes fell short of Oregon the first time around this season, the passing attack was not to blame. In fact, Ohio State put up 326 yards through the air against the Ducks, including 93 yards and a touchdown from Egbuka on 10 receptions. Are the Buckeyes confident they can have that much success again from quarterback Will Howard and the wideouts?

“Yeah, we are,” Egbuka said. “Any way that we can get the job done is all that matters. We’re only focused on one thing at the end of the day and that’s the scoreboard and whether it says a win or a loss. So, however we manage to get there we are going to be glad to do so.”

Emeka Egbuka, the star wide receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, is gearing up for his second chance to play at the iconic Rose Bowl stadium. After a disappointing loss to the Oregon Ducks earlier in the season, Egbuka is eager to redeem himself and lead his team to victory in the upcoming game.

Egbuka, known for his explosive speed and precise route running, is determined to make a statement in this rematch against the Ducks. With his eyes set on the prize, Egbuka has been putting in extra hours on the practice field and in the film room to ensure that he is fully prepared for this crucial game.

“I can’t wait to step foot on that field again and show the world what I’m capable of,” Egbuka said in a recent interview. “I know that the Ducks are a tough team, but I believe in myself and my teammates. We have what it takes to come out on top this time.”

With the Rose Bowl providing the stage for this highly anticipated rematch, Egbuka is ready to shine and lead his team to victory. Buckeyes fans are eagerly awaiting to see their star receiver in action once again, and they have no doubt that Egbuka will deliver a performance to remember.

Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting showdown between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks at the Rose Bowl, as Emeka Egbuka looks to make his mark and secure a well-deserved victory for his team.
