That o line and elliot was in tune!!

[@kale6772]

Elliot was a beast. But 54 on that O line was holding mfs like crazy.

[@elilucas3361]

God that beat down of Wiscy was legendary and no one saw it coming not even buckeye fans lol

[@mbtez6322]

I watch this championship run so much, it gives me chills everytime

[@JustCaleb9]

This man literally had 696 rushing yards and 8 TDs in 3 games.. counting his receiving yards he had 700+ yards from scrimmage in 3 games.. unbelievable

[@AkaNastyNas]

Truly an animal .. he reminded me of Adrian Peterson when he play at OU. A wrecking ball moving at 20 mph just causing havoc

[@Alex-kz1bu]

Remember what Devon’s smith did? In 3 games

[@RLAjabs]

85 yards through the heart of the south. the greatest buckeye play since the clarett fumble recovery vs miami.

[@HopeVanilla]

[@Soopology]

The most *talented* back OSU has ever produced. Some of our other greats have done this or that better, but talent & complete back wise, there hasn’t been anyone better.

[@georgesouthwick7000]

I assume you never saw Archie Griffin, the only player to win back to back Heisman Trophies.

[@Soopology]

@@georgesouthwick7000 I literally explained what most talented meant. Archie was nowhere near the blocker nor receiver nor had the feet that Zeke does. It was a different day back then. Troy Smith won the Heisman - is he more talented than Fields? 😐

[@Nhuddy04]

Yea, the perfect balance of strength and speed, absolute stud

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

That team at that point in the season was unbeatable! Go Bucks! They went through the top 3 heisman players including the heisman winner! What a run!

[@ssj4goku108]

One of the best if not the best rushing performances ever. This championship run will never be topped.

[@SocialAssasin]

121 and 2 TDs against TUN wasn't to shabby either. What a great season. (after VT game of course) I remember leaving the Shoe that night after the home opening loss to VT thinking we would be lucky to win 9 games. What a team they turned out to be!

[@jeffhobart7484]

Alabama and Oregon were not ready for the strength and physically of the Buckeyes offensive line. Straight punched in the mouth and crumbled. Plus Zeke ran like a man possessed. 85 yards through the heart of the south baby!

[@Alex-kz1bu]

Yeah then smitty did it, but better in only 1 half

[@smg8395]

The title started brewing after the Wisconsin game. The title was then secured after “The Run” against Bama in the 4th. One of the greatest feelings as an OSU fan.

[@KnowYourWorth101]

We been living off of that 2014 season for 8 years now😂kind of sad that we haven’t won another one since

[@kashabi1287]

Ikr we always have national championship worthy teams but we find a way to get upset and it messes our whole season up

[@kashabi1287]

But we got treyveon henderson jaxon marvin harrison jr and cj stroud

[@kev614]

We choked in 2015 from sleep walking through every game. Then lost when it all mattered. In 2019 we would’ve just lost to LSU even if we beat Clemson and we haven’t really had a Championship team other than those sadly.

[@KnowYourWorth101]

@@kev614 you can pretty much say we choke every year we always have the talent to make the national championship, we should be on Alabamas level when it comes down to winning it all year in and year out, we have the talent and play in a way easier conference there should be no excuses

[@kev614]

@@KnowYourWorth101 I know, we’re just not Bama and that’s okay. Nobody is. We didn’t have the team this past season at all being so young, in 2020 we just weren’t on Bama’s level so I can’t be mad at us. We’ll win soon enough with patience. We normally have a good defense so we will win it all very soon if we can go back to that with us now normally having a good offense these past few seasons.

[@DuecePiece]

Man will FOREVER be a legend in the Buckeye state. Insane run for the natty, ahh the memories!

[@AkaNastyNas]

This is the greatest RB performance in the cfbp ever. Zeke ran through the best defense that year only giving up 88 yards per game (Bama) and followed up by single handily slaughtering the ducks defenses.

[@ethanweeter2732]

And slaughtered Wisconsin too.

[@Alex-kz1bu]

DERRICK HENRYS RUN? HOLY SHIT DERRICK HENRY CFPR IS 10x better than this.

[@AchRock1509]

Zeke was a beast in college,

[@stewg4661]

If Barrett didn't get injured, OSU wouldn't have won it all. Jones was a QB, not a running back who can throw the ball. Jones would give the ball to the guy whose job it was to run the ball and he got to shine. He made the best cuts and had the power to run through arm tackles. No wonder he is still a pro 10 years later.

[@jerrysmiths9140]

[@georgesouthwick7000]

Followed by a great rookie year in the NFL. Unfortunately, it has all been downhill since.

[@7reasons617]

Bc we don’t have a real run scheme and stopped giving him carries. He had less carries last year than he had in 2017 when he missed six games and still had 1000 on one leg. It’s the cowboys, not Zeke.
