Moments after Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott had run through, over and around Michigan's elite defense last Saturday, head coach Urban Meyer had a message for the Heisman Trophy voters.
“[Elliott] should be in New York,” Meyer said, according to Tim Shoemaker of Eleven Warriors. “That’s one of the best players in America. He should be a Heisman guy.”
Earlier that afternoon, Elliott sliced through Michigan's solid front seven, running for 214 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries, averaging 7.1 yards per attempt. It was an incredible performance against a defense that ranked fourth nationally against the run before it had met the Buckeyes.
