Ezekiel Elliott isn't the only one criticizing Ohio State's decision to limit his carries during the Michigan State game.
The Buckeye workhorse back finished the night with just 12 carries for 33 yards, by far his lowest output of the season. Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin does not envision a similar fate – although he's "joking" – for Derrick Henry in the Tide's playoff matchup against the Spartans:

Henry toted the ball a combined 90 times in their last two games versus Auburn and Florida, so chances are he'll take more than 12 handoffs when Bama plays MSU in the Cotton Bowl.
