RB Ezekiel Elliott offers strength, maturity at a position of depth: Ohio State freshman focus- CPD video

Urb said today that Zeke would be involved in the offense....this year. That really surprised me to hear coach say that. Not because I thought he lacked the talent but because he had so many guys ahead of him. To say he would be involved in the offense to me doesn't mean mop up duty. Anyone can be involved at that point. To actually mention him is interesting.

Stan Drayton talked about his veterans at RB, then added: "You have a rookie tailback in Ezekiel Elliot that is by no means out of the mix.?

I love it. He shouldn't be.

I love it. He shouldn't be.

Agreed, get every player that's ready involved. Maybe he could also return kicks and punts as well. And even be able to split out. Great problem to have.

If you haven't seen Drayton's interviews from Media Day I would recommend checking them out. I can't say that I have ever seen a coach so visibly excited about his depth chart. The guy was downright giddy. When you have a freshman like Zeke pushing so many older guys it's a great problem. I can't think of a time with so many quality backs in the system ahead of a stud like Zeke. It's crazy. The advantage to him seeing PT early will be his versatility.

Good stuff

One thing I noticed watching the game live that I didn't expect was how much bigger then Jordan Hall he is.

Wish he would switch the ball to his right hand sometimes, but I love how he holds that high and tight. Promising future. =)

14 carries for 162, and 2 TDs is ridiculous!

Obviously Urban called off the dogs in the second half. Zeke became a dog and then got called off himself IMO. I really hope to see a lot more of him in the future.
