No running back in the storied history of Ohio State rushers has ever had the run of success that Ezekiel Elliott had at the end of his sophomore year. Elliott had been solid all year long, amassing more than 1,000 yards in the regular season, but he found another gear in the postseason, becoming the first Buckeye to put up three consecutive 200-yard rushing performances, and only the second to reach that mark three times in an entire season, joining Eddie George (1995). If the Heisman Trophy hadn’t already been awarded, Elliott’s final three games of the season might have won it for him.
