“It’s very disappointing”, Elliott said of the conversative game plan. No, it wasn’t the play-calling – I got over that after realizing MSU’s defense came to play – but rather something the broadcasters said.
That’s similar to what quarterback Cardale Jones posted after the game too with a picture of his last time walking into The Shoe.
The timing of Elliott expressing his displeasure is sure to have a ripple effect with two games still to play this season.
“You’ve got the rivalry coming up”, said Meyer of the MI game.
“I’m disappointed in the play calling”, Elliott told reporters following the game.
Nah, he’s fine. I know our GM will drill him about this during Combine meetings. It didn’t work out. – Sean Maguire threw two touchdown passes and Dalvin Cook had his seventh 100-yard rushing game and added two more scores for Florida State (9-2).
Ohio State scored first in the game, but the Spartans had a quick answer, one that drew them even with the Buckeyes, 7-7, with 7:57 to play in the first half. So finger will be pointed right here.

The Buckeyes lost to a 13-point underdog playing without its star quarterback.
The Buckeyes had just 105 yards offense entering the fourth quarter while constantly trying to run against the strength of MI State’s defense, which is stopping the run.

It ended with the Spartans sprinting around the turf, looking for friends, family and anyone to celebrate with after Michael Geiger’s 41-yard field goal as time ran out gave MI State the win.

Ohio State; 12. Oklahoma State; 13. But anger forced this announcement out of the mouth of one of the best running backs in the country. At least not like this.
