No holds barred.
A year after an end to the season that had him win a major national award for best amateur athlete, Ezekiel Elliott's senior year hasn't culminated quite the way any of us -- including him -- had hoped.
Though he had an impressive streak of 100-yard rushing games that ended in Saturday's 17-14 loss to Michigan State, Elliott, who was one of the preseason Heisman favorites, has seemed to stay a steady distant second or third in recent weeks.
Even after Trevone Boykin and Leonard Fournette seemingly dropped back from the college football top award's collective spotlight after disappointing shows, Zeke never quite catapulted to the top of the straw polls.
