This is the dude that rushed for 220 yards against Wisconsin, 230 against Alabama, and 246 against Oregon to close last season. He has the highest overall grade for a RB by PFF by a decent amount. That includes Leonard Fournette.


The closing run by Elliott was amazing and deserves high praise. I of course completely understand Ohio State fans preferring their guy, however the closing kick to the 2014 season has no bearing on who should or will win the 2015 Heisman.

I don't think anyone said Elliott or Cook were not great backs. But it sure does seem like a classic case of blow back since LF was pegged as the Heisman front runner so early, that talking heads and cool guys on message boards have to find another RB to say is better because of some type of metric like explosiveness for Cooks or blocking for Elliott.
