Alabama vs Ohio State was the real National Championship game that season!

As a Buckeye, he had me in amazement 😂😂 We wanted to lose this game so bad with our TOs lol

[@vw8886]

I was there and they were never going to lose that game!

Don't see how...he was clocked at 22 mph today.

The biggest takeaway for that season was the Buckeyes’ QB’s they won with was the backup’s backup

@Rothr Wareck he said backups backup meaning 3rd string bc he was the backups backup

[@Ryan-zt2xw]

Dude was unreal his rookie year. Looked like a surefire HOFer

[@ebbk5309]

One thing for sure Zeke took his college team and won a National Championship. Dak has always been, Not good enough to lead a team to nothing. Zeke even beat Bama a team in Mississippi State conference. That's something Dak couldn't do. Zeke did his part early on like most good young running backs, just that Dak never was a Quarterback that could take a team to no Big Show. Now Dallas will run Pollard into the ground and Dallas still will not get to the Super Bowl. I don't believe Pollard will hold up all season.

[@aubhreypender3091]

Who is taking Mississippi state to a natty lol

[@ThatGhettoPenguin]

For those 3 games zeke was as good a college back I’d ever seen right about there with Reggie and Ricky.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

Damn Zeke don’t even run like that no more

[@JorgeGarcia-lr3vk]

To be fair to Zeke, it is way harder to run against an NFL defense than some Pac12 defense.

[@stealthiscool]

@@JorgeGarcia-lr3vk He just doesn't have the same burst anymore; you have to remember what he did his first 3 seasons (Led the league in rush yards per game each year) and especially in his first. He tore up NFL defenses like they were in the Big 12, let alone Pac 12

[@ericsigersmith2831]

Went from a 6 pack to a full keg lmao

[@earsbeats]

I mean being the NFL’s leading rusher, an excellent receiving back and gaining nearly 4.5 yards per carry over the last 6 years is already a phenomenal pedigree for a position that averages less than two years of longevity. Props. He’s got plenty to be proud of on the field.

[@Fightmoreyuour.]

@@earsbeatsyeah, you can put his career stats up with Derrick Henry.

[@Braves14]

Everyone hating on zeke for yesterday performance when the Bucs are the best run defense team in the league 🙄

[@pepeisherefromtiktok7768]

Best rush defense yes, but a slower rb males them look better Zeke forgot he needs speed if he wants to get yards but eh what can u do

[@BrotherApexx]

Damn, did they even TRY to run?

[@yengvang8737]

Well to be a really great running back you have to face great defense like that. Dude can't even beat a 1v1 got tackled right away.

[@jordan12118]

He doesn’t run like this anymore Edit: I might be wrong

[@i_chosen_one_ips432]

He’s not

[@i_chosen_one_ips432]

He regressed almost as fast as Todd Gurley

[@pepeisherefromtiktok7768]

Man looks like he's getting slower, he doesn't pound it like he used to its now like he's getting as much as a defense allows him which vs Tampa was the 13 yard carry otherwise he couldn't do anything if I put dalvin cook I think he does something, cmc, Alvin, derrick, hell I think Aaron Jones but now Elliot, first 3 years yes now no

[@donsolos]

Yall act like RBs hit there primes in years 4 and 5, lol nah. Past year 3 it's all downhill for 95% of RBs, especially when they are getting 300 touches a year. Gurley fell off 2x as hard as Zeke and that was cause of previous injuries and todd mcvay sacrificing todd Gurley's youth for football wins aka over using him

[@LamaeJackson4President]

prime zeke

[@manofchaitea6904]

Look at it like this, the last time Michigan Wolverines won a national championship, Titanic with Leonardo Di Caprio came out. Along with good Will Hunting and Vegas vacation with Chevy chase..

[@PlayThenReview]

He definitely peaked in CFP/rookie year, he’ll never get to this level again

[@alexarchie2260]

nah he juss go complacent ,adrian peterson peaked in college, then he peaked his rookie year , then he peaked like 3 more times work ethic and determination and commitment to the run is what zekes teams need to be

[@donsolos]

Yes most RBs peak in their first or second years as a pro. Especially when they are getting 300 touches a year, you cant run that recklessly and expect a long career. Most players crumble after 2 or 3 seasons like that. Adrian Peterson still remains the outlier at RB for the last 20 years. So comparing him to others just isn't fair

[@alexarchie2260]

@@donsolos thts our generation so thats what im comparing to , running backs back in the day had high touches and had long careers wich is 10 for a rb , so i aint trying to here it they arnt outliers there called hall of fame calliber 3 down backs wich if lucky with injuries can give you 9 to 10 years of dominance

[@King5003]

@@donsolos shit even dudes like Jamal Charles maintained it longer than Zeke, he’s dropped off real bad in the past couple years, arbitrarily speaking

Maybe as far as explosiveness and big runs but look at the stats he's always been productive

[@donsolos]

I would like to see you be able to walk after 1 NFL season with 300 touches. This is what happens to heavily used RBs in the NFL, 95% of the time it's all downhill for them after their first 3 years. He is still a very good player

@@donsolos really goes for all positions tbh, although some have a longer timeframe

He got paid. I don’t blame him at all. Why work harder for the same amount of money. The contracts should be performance based.

Luckily Ezekiel Elliot got drafted by my Dallas Cowboys because i wanted Oregon to win this National Championship game so bad

[@natestakely1478]

sec will cry but they played a guided missile team (the block that sprung Elliot) and it goes back to Miami NC (MCGahee knock out, Dorsey flung like a rag doll), OSU delivered kidney shots the entire game. Ducks after Bama got it also. Wisconsin got it also.
