Ezekiel Elliott apology won’t end effects on his National Football League draft stock

“I was depressed in the hospital and crying like a baby”, he said. “I was trying to stay on my feet as long as possible”.

MI State now controls its own destiny in the hunt for the Big Ten title and could still earn their way into play-off contention, after stunning Ohio State at the Horseshoe in Columbus on Saturday, 17 to 14.

“Mike & Mike” co-host Mike Greenberg said the Spartans’ upset at Ohio State is “the single best win any team has had this season”.

It’s not that the announcements weren’t expected, but they felt like salt in the wound so soon after MI State put a kink in the Buckeyes’ national championship plans.

“I’m not saying that was not true”, Meyer said.

Ezekiel Elliott made waves after Saturday’s loss to MI State when he blasted Ohio State coaches for their play-calling and not getting him the ball more.

Ezekiel Elliott’s streak of consecutive games of more than 100 yards rushing ended at 15 when he was held to 33 yards on 12 carries.

132 – Ohio State managed a measly 132 yards against MI State. As far as the postseason goes, it’s likely the best the Buckeyes will be able to do is the Rose Bowl.

“We lost the line of scrimmage”, said a dejected Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer afterward.

“He’s a very well-thought of junior, and he gets a microphone stuck in his face, and obviously, we do not condone that and encourage that”, Meyer said. Faced with a third-and-14 from the MI State 36, he connected down the left sideline with wide receiver Aaron Burbridge for 36 yards.

Darboh leads MI with 52 catches for 635 yards; his five receiving touchdowns are second to the seven from Jehu Chesson, who has 37 catches for 535 yards.

3 – Purdue’s field goal with 25 seconds left of the second quarter of its 40-20 loss at Iowa were the first points the Hawkeyes have allowed this season in the last two minutes of the first half. Again, he’s not wrong, but just like he wouldn’t want the coaches to throw him under the bus if he has a poor game, he knows better than to do the same to them. I don’t know what they were seeing. At least not like this. “I’m disappointed in the situations that we were put in, and I wish it all played out differently”, Elliott said.

“You’ve got the rivalry coming up”.

Cook took a shot to the shoulder last week against Maryland. MI State gave no hints as to whether he would play, but when he warmed up cautiously t was obvious something was up. That was the worst offensive output by an Urban Meyer-coached team. Perhaps because All-American candidates, tackle Jack Conklin and center Jack Allen have returned to health, the Spartans’ offensive line crushed the Buckeyes, making it much easier on MSU’s inexperienced duo of quarterbacks.

The Buckeyes understand that the 10 victories to start the season will become mostly forgotten if they end their regular season with losses in their two most important games. “We don’t like them”, Boren said.
