Skull Session: Ryan Day expects a battle from Indiana on Saturday, Emeka Egbuka is incredibly versatile and Jalin Marshall had a field day against the Hoosiers in 2014.
Full disclosure: I didn't know who Paul Hornung was before Egbuka's nomination. However, I used the opportunity to educate myself on the former footballer's greatness.
Hornung was an excellent all-around athlete at Notre Dame, playing quarterback, running back and kicker for the football team and guard for the basketball team. In 1956, he won the Heisman Trophy for the Irish. The following year, he was drafted No. 1 overall by the Green Bay Packers – a franchise with which he would win four NFL championships and one Super Bowl – and became a Pro Bowler, an All-Pro and an MVP.
In conclusion, he was great. He was actually more than great. He was legen – wait for it – dary. So for Egbuka to be considered for an award with Hornung's name attached to it means a whole lot in my mind. Egbuka has been incredibly versatile for Ohio State's offense and special teams this season, contributing by catching passes, taking handoffs and returning punts. Through nine games, he has collected 49 receptions for 794 yards and seven touchdowns and added 80 yards and two scores on the ground and 77 yards from punt returns. In other words, he's done everything for the Buckeyes.Paul Hornung Award.
"A big part of Emeka's game is his athleticism, quickness and versatility. A big part of it is his toughness and physicality."
