Can’t Blame Ezekiel Elliott For Criticizing Ohio State Coaching Staff

What happens when you play with little intensity and your play calling leaves much to be desired?

Now, everyone else tackle them. MSU had 294 yards, including 203 on the ground.

On the offensive side, losing at the line was one of the main reasons why Ezekiel Elliott only had 12 carries, including just two in the second half. It was an incompletion on 4th-and-goal from the Northwestern 11 with two seconds left, 13-7.

Let me remind you that you still have a big game this week, still a very outside shot at the Big 10 Championship Game and a Bowl game.

Following the game in the locker room, Ezekiel Elliott, the star running back of the Buckeyes was talking to reporters. It also tossed the Buckeyes into a three-way tie in the Big Ten East with MI State and MI. I can’t speak for the play calling.

Other former players told the Sporting News that ex-Gators Percy Harvin, Brandon Spikes and Aaron Hernandez all failed a drug test for marijuana and were forced to sit out for a game, but Meyer reported that they were out for injuries.

But the Spartans have won here before and beaten the Buckeyes with everything on the line.The job O’Connor did in Cook’s stead in leading MI State to an unexpected 17-14 upset of 10-0 Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday sent shockwaves all across the college football world.

“This will be my last game in the ‘Shoe”, he said. He had none this season before that.

MI State is 6-1 in its last seven games against top-10 teams.

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“. OSU didn’t attempt a field goal and punter Cameron Johnston was solid except for a weird 5-yard punt that probably was weather related.

Ohio State came back to regain the lead after a muffed punt return paved the way for an eventual eight-yard TD pass from quarterback J.T. Barrett to Jalin Marshall.

With a victory next week at home against Penn State the Spartans will clinch a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

26 – The average game-time temperature at games played at Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin was 25.7 degrees.

90 – IL had 90 more yards than Minnesota. The Fighting Illini still lost to the Gophers, 32-23.

132 – Ohio State managed a measly 132 yards against MI State.

Taking into account that Harbaugh has already made a significant imprint just one season at the helm and Meyer has had prolonged success at each school he’s coached for, the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry has the potential of creating the next Woody-Bo era. The Buckeyes had only five first downs.

250 – Maryland’s Brandon Ross rushed for 250 yards.
