Buckeyes’ Elliott sorry for outburst, but not for what he said

It is also important to note that the victor of the Ohio State and MI clash would win the East Division and advance to the Big Ten champion should MI State loses. It won’t be an easy assignment.

After the game, the junior running back said the coaching staff didn’t put Ohio State in a position to win the game and that he didn’t know what was going on with the play-calling and that “there’s no chance I’m coming back next year”.

“A very isolated incident”, Meyer said. They deserve your best the rest of the season.

“Getting a win, and a big win at that, is the best way to bounce back from that”, Decker said. “It’s just said and done and we haven’t really talked about it at all“. “I like the angst, the emotion, the, ‘I’m not going to cross midfield to shake his hand, ‘” Herbstreit said. They have defeated MI seven of the last eight.

“I looked somewhere and someone said that we couldn’t stop Joey Bosa or Adolphus Washington and I didn’t see them back there too much today”, senior center Jack Allen said.

“I’m disappointed in the play calling and disappointed in the situations we were put in during the second half”, lamented Elliott.

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer watches from the sidelines against during the second quarter of an NCAA college football game against Ohio State, Saturday, November 21, 2015, in Columbus, Ohio.

There were so many times this season the MI State Spartans looked vulnerable. Meyer said Monday he would be more involved in the offense. “We’re playing for something bigger than just this game”. But, hear me out: MI State, a team with no breakout stars tops its in-state rival, equipped with the returning Jim Harbaugh, in a way that people immediately described as miraculous. “They’re going to get that squared away”.

In a press conference after the 17-14 upset loss at home to MI State, Elliott announced that he had played his last home game as a Buckeye because he will be declaring for the National Football League draft.

Elliott carried only 12 times for 33 yards. Expect Elliott to make a big effort against the Wolverines to atone for his behavior a week ago.

The Buckeyes had been third in the last playoff ranking.

The final stats certainly reflect it. The Buckeyes finished with just five first downs for the game and just 132 yards total offense and just 46 yards in the air.

The Buckeyes will take on the University of MI Wolverines in the Big House in Ann Arbor next week for the venerable rivalry known as “The Game”.

Elliott leads Ohio State with 1,458 yards and 17 touchdowns.

When the Spartans took the field, they were without their quarterback who had started 36 consecutive games and compiled a record of 32-4 over that span. Instead, Dantonio opted for a dual-quarterback system with O’Connor handling most of the passing plays. Last week in the loss to MI State, he caught one pass for three yards and ran twice for nine yards. MI State entered the game without Connor Cook, who was a late scratch due to a shoulder injury.

“I am sorry for all those offended by the statements made by me Saturday after OUR loss”, Elliott Tweeted.
