Important distinction: Elliott's fracture is to his left hand (opposite ball hand), which is big for his return

Rod Smith supposedly looking good too. This may be his chance to go from potential after thought to splitting carries with Eze. Hopefully he can get back healthy soon though.

My 12 year old son just made a very good comment about Zeke having a similar running style to Maurice Clarett which I have thought myself. Very happy to see my son knows enough Buckeye history to make such an observation. Of course he doesn't run exactly the same but anyone else notice similarities?

MoC came into Ohio State as a true frosh and tore it up with like 1200 yards rushing. EzE has shown the ability to run against Florida A&M and Purdue. I'd hold off on comparing those two guys.

I think they're entirely different backs all together. MoC was a bulldog. I don't see that in Eliott...yet.

He's right. I think I noticed it during that FAMU game, reminded me of MoC against TT.

I think he meant more of the way he looks when running the ball. Could be wrong.

I can see that. He seems to have that "bounce" when he turns the corner and his pads always seem to be square. There isn't much sideways running from Elliott from what I've seen.

They both know how to play defense

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Yes. I meant in running style. There is something about the way both of these guys run that seems similar.

The news isn't all bad for #OhioState. RB Ezekiel Elliott, who had cast removed a few days ago, has been fully cleared after wrist surgery.

A silver lining force season. Give the damn ball to Ezekiel! As well as Rod, Brionte, Curtis and Dontre, and whoever else can carry the ball. Let the Oline maul whoever is in another jersey. Put the women and children to bed and go hunting for dinner boys!

Diamond formation with 5 RBs on the field at the same time! :P
