Elliott, the reliable and steady Ohio State running back, is one of three finalists for the Chicago Tribune Silver Football, voted on by the Big Ten's coaches and awarded to the conference's best player. He joins Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard and Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook as finalists, the newspaper announced Saturday.
