Ohio State RB Elliott apologizes for comments

But on the ensuring possession, Ohio State’s defense, and particularly its linebackers who were making tackles five yards down the field, allowed the Spartans to march 75 yards in 13 plays to tie it at 14-14 on a two-yard run by Gerald Holmes with 12:03 left in the game. Would you want a 6-3 Ohio State in the Championship Game or an 8-1 MI State. Zeke’s got, like I said, a three-year bank.

“Today, I’m most reminded of a time I wasn’t even here”, Harbaugh said on Monday during his weekly press conference.

That Elliott intends to turn pro after this season is no surprise.

But probably no one was as angry as running back Ezekiel Elliott. Jones did not play Saturday. Meyer says he wished Elliott’s comments would have been made in private instead of during a postgame interview, but that Elliott came to him and apologized. “If we find a way to win this game, I imagine we won’t be talking about this much longer”. “This is a huge game, and nothing would make me feel better than winning my fourth pair of gold trousers – going up there and beating them at their place”. Meyer isn’t going to suspend Elliott, and he shouldn’t.

Meyer agreed the play-calling was “not very good”, and “I have to do better”, which assumes the head coach will do more of the play-calling than offensive coordinator Ed Warinner and co-offensive coordinator Tim Beck will be lessened. So finger will be pointed right here. “We come out every week to win every single game”. MI State has been injury-plagued all season.

Follow the road to the 2015 College Football Playoff at The Football Four, our home to rate and debate the nation’s best. The Buckeyes might not be officially buried, but they are in critical condition.

That’s not to suggest Ohio State would’ve matched Ole Miss by beating Alabama for the second straight year. Go figure, but it likely cost Ohio State the football game. I’m not a fan of taking a RB in the top 5, but if the Titans win a couple of games and move down, or are able to trade back, Elliott is a guy that will be in play.

“We lost the line of scrimmage”, Meyer says. But MI State and coach Mark Dantonio were all too ready. But notably, it was how everything looked when both teams ran out onto the field.

The junior questioned the coaching staff’s play calling after the Buckeyes managed only 132 total yards in a loss that ended their 23-game overall and 30-game Big Ten winning streaks. The Buckeyes were squarely in the national title and CFP picture.

While I do have faith in Rudock’s arm to do some of that same work against the Buckeyes, I can’t bring myself to believe that’ll be enough. Ohio State sputtered some through 10 games but was never really challenged. So it was OK for MI State to pass in the rain, with a backup quarterback, no less, but not for the Buckeyes? They have defeated MI seven of the last eight.
