SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.: Ezekiel Elliott is the most complete running back in Ohio State history.
That’s not just my opinion, but one shared by Akron native Beanie Wells, another member of the Buckeyes’ backfield brethren.
Yet as Elliott plays his final game in scarlet and gray against Notre Dame Friday in the BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl, some OSU fans won’t be sorry to see the junior from St. Louis head to the NFL.
In their eyes, he’s a me-first guy, a perception fed by his second-guessing of the play-calling after a Nov. 21 home loss to Michigan State.
