The Time Ezekiel Elliot Wrecked #2 Oregon

[@meathook2448]

That playoff run by The Buckeyes was the funnest stretch of games in OSU history’s.

Zeke is probably one of the best Buckeyes I’ve ever seen Don the scarlet and gray in my 31 years of life. Not only that, but the 2014 O line has to be one of the best lines I’ve ever seen as well. Obviously took them some time to gel, but once they did they were dominant. The most incredible season I’ve ever witnessed.

[@johnslavik7629]

And to win it with the 3rd string QB makes it even more special. I have a Cardale Jones jersey hanging in my closet just for that very reason.

@@aleccollins2108 We did the exact same thing Oklahoma and Alabama did only they lost by more but since we were in a much harder division (and the B1G 12 did not have divisions) we didn´t make the playoffs because Sparty did not choke the division unlike Ole Miss two years twice losing to ARKANSAS and Oklahoma lost at home to a 5-7 Texas who Ohio State would´ve beaten by 30. Plus, it was raining outside so it affected our talent so it didn´t really matter how much we brung back. We then went to a top 8 Michigan team and smashed them winning by 30.

[@philobeddoe3495]

Elliot wrecked a lot of teams that season. He ran for 230 against Alabama in the game before this one and 220 against Wisconsin in the Big 10 championship game. He got off to a slow start against Navy and VT and he didn't see the ball a lot in some other games because it was a blowout win for the Buckeyes. He was a beast which is why he was picked so highly in the draft.

[@schelbboy22]

@@ace98curtiss I remember he had a good passing completion with 2 TD’s and his last pass being a pick to end the game. That Buckeye defense definitely challenged him unlike any other team he faced in his career. Stanford defense in 12’ & 13’ bullied Mariota but this was different!

[@ace98curtiss]

@@thexxdrocker952 Nah, I've heard that argument and never liked it. Just an excuse. He racked up plenty of yards, but he was awful on 3rd down(the ducks were 2-12), and equally bad in the red zone, with one of his lowest passer ratings on the year. You can't have lapses like that and expect to win. And it's not like he faced a new level of pressure either. Throughout that game, ohio state dominated oregon's o-line like most teams did, but it was largely irrelevant. 1 sack, and forcing mariota out of the pocket occasionally (just for a comparison, Arizona State sacked him 6 times that year). Can't put all of the fault on him, as his receivers did drop a few 3rd down passes. But even those weren't great throws. I loved watching mariota play, but he doesn't get a pass here. Everyone has bad games. His just so happened to be in the biggest of his career, against a good team no less. And all while on a team that was "ride or die" reliant on his arm.
