Should Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott have apologized for criticizing his coaches?

But Meyer wasnt exactly upset with the message.

“We lost the line of scrimmage”, Meyer said. This wasn’t the first insane finish the legendary basketball coach has been present for this season, though, as Izzo was also at the MI game in Ann Arbor when the Spartans won on a miraculous botched punt returned for a touchdown. “But that’s not the place to do that”.

Running back Ezekiel Elliot blasted his coaches and questioned why he carried the ball just 12 times.

Ohio State Football is known for producing NFL-caliber talent in countless positions, but this year’s roster has five projected first-round draft picks and is expecting to lose eight starters on offense. And Meyer has accepted.

“There’s a variety of things”, Meyer said. Zeke is a very honest guy; the frustration, anger, all that, probably mounted up. They’ll likely see a heavy dose of freshman phenom Saquon Barkley, but their performance against the talented ground game of Ohio State makes me believe they’ll smother the Nittany Lions’ efforts, especially with a suspect offensive line.

“The message is to have a great Monday practice”, he said. I don’t know what was going on.

“It does mean a lot that that’s caused a tension”. “He apologized. We squashed it as a team”.

Center Jacoby Boren said playing the Wolverines is more important than Elliott’s comments and that the loss to MI State doesn’t change anything.

The Ohio State senior has never lost to MI and in doing so owns three pair of gold trousers, the traditional charm awarded to Ohio State players for beating their rivals up north. “I don’t care if I rushed for 20 yards or 200 yards but I just wanted to win that game”. Instead of leaning heavily on Elliott as they have all season, the Buckeyes attempted to run QB J.T. Barrett more often and couldn’t get a perpetually stagnant passing attack rolling. Mark Dantonio’s group has fallen off in most statistical categories since last season, but the one area where the Spartans have thrived has been turnovers, both protecting the ball and taking it away.

After all, its no secret MSUs weakness on defense has been in the secondary. I asked for those plays to be called.

It was the Spartans running game that moved MI State into field goal range for Mike Geiger’s winning 41-yards field goal that help put an end to Ohio State’s 23-game winning streak while also hindering its chances to win a second straight national championship.

During MI coach Jim Harbaugh’s weekly press conference, he referenced the 1969 MI football team, Bo Schembechler and the indelible mark quarterback Jake Rudock has made on the Wolverines. Not that Meyer is shocked.

“I couldn’t disagree with his comments”, Meyer added. “Most selfless player – one of the most selfless players I’ve ever coached and been around”. They have great personnel.
