Season Stats: 193 carries, 1244 yards, 14 touchdowns

Last game vs Minnesota: 26 carries, 114 yards, 1 touchdown

Elliott has been beast this season, and without J.T. Barrett, he can assume more responsibilities. Their talent level on offense sometimes felt like he was being crowded out of the mix.

He has rushed for 100 yards in ever game this season, and scored in all but one game. He’s not used out of the backfield a whole lot, but he doesn’t need to, because of Ohio State’s talent level.

Not nearly enough attention has been placed on Elliott this year, and you could say that’s because of the other running backs overshadowing him, and the lack of Ohio State’s ranked opponents, but soon enough Elliott will garner the attention.
