Runs hard. Really hard.

Do wish he'd change the arm he's holding the ball with when he's being pursued.

Ezekiel is playing with a fractured left wrist, and wears a soft cast. Trust me, you don't want him to switch it over to the left. I briefly held my breath after that one-handed catch in his left last night, but he quickly put it in his right!

Well there you go, someone who knows a heck of a lot more about the situation than me. Thanks for sharing.

He can carry it however the hell he wants to when he's in beast mode the way he is now. Love it!

+ Meyer said Ezekiel Elliott looked better last week because the offensive line blocked better, plus he got a lot more touches. "I think he's playing well. I think he's settling into the starting tailback role. The tailback is a product of the quality of the offensive line. I think he ran very hard, but he was getting to the second level quite often." Meyer said that Elliott has been raised the right way.

I love that he may not be as big as Hyde, but runs just as hard. The play against UC where he was whistled dead, and then proceeded to push a pile of about 8 or 10 men another 5-7 yards was amazing. May not have counted in the box score, but we were all watching. What a great RB the Buckeyes have.

I'm with you here. I was talking to my dad during the game and we said EzE was getting stronger with every carry and had that defense spent by the 4th quarter much like Hyde would do (and our OL last year). The only difference I see on the cuff is that EzE is a step or two faster than Hyde and Hyde was a bit bigger. Plus Elliott seems to have better hands. That being said, EzE is only a true sophomore and I am doing an apples and oranges comparison to a senior Carlos Hyde. As he continues to grow along with the OL, he could really put on a huge show for awhile here. He is a great player no doubt, but we also have to see how he performs against the MSU defenses of the world though...Cincy and Kent State are two of the worst defenses in the country.

Ditto..
when he started getting it going, I thought... this is a result of 4.1% body fat
but when it kept up, I thought, uh oh... this is when I wish there was more than 4.1%
cuz he's done used all that 4.1% already.. he's borrowing fuel
