Ohio State overcame another slow start before riding a strong defensive effort to a 28-14 victory over Minnesota on Saturday night.
Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown, securing his place in Ohio State history. He has now passed Beanie Wells and is the 4th leading rusher in school history.
“He’s an animal, I love that kid,” said Head Coach Urban Meyer, who flashed a little smile when told of Elliott’s new ranking. “He’s a team player. You can see how he was holding onto the ball because they were trying to strip it there at the end.
