For three straight years, Ohio State's season has ended in heartbreak.

After dominating the rivalry against Michigan at the beginning of the 21st century and going 17-2 from 2001 to 2019, the Buckeyes have now lost three straight to the Wolverines.

All three matchups have been top-5 battles, with Ohio State ranked No. 2 in each. So, the Buckeyes have pretty much seen all national championship hopes end on Thanksgiving weekend since the turn of the decade.

The calls to can Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day have been loud in Columbus, but rising senior wide receiver Emeka Egbuka scoffs at the notion.

"I believe coach Day has been appointed to this role for a specific reason. I don’t believe there’s any accidents in life," Egbuka told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. "He’s our head coach, and we’re gonna rally behind him.

"He always has our backs, so the least we can do is have his. We fully believe in his ability to be able to coach us and lead us to the promised land. We’re just gonna rally under his flag, and we’re gonna get this done."

Egbuka has one more year to help the Buckeyes get over the hump, and he feels this year's squad is the one to do it, even if Marvin Harrison Jr. is now in the NFL.
