The Ohio State Buckeyes just crashed and burned, and their stars are abandoning ship. After Cardale Jones sent out a tweet announcing his future plans, Ezekiel Elliott just announced he was leaving Ohio State as well.
Ezekiel Elliott said he will not be returning to OSU next year.

Elliott: "We weren't put in position to win this game." Said he lobbied Meyer on sideline for calls and did not get them.

Elliott: "I think I do deserve more than 11 carries. … I don't know what was going on."

Elliott blasted Ohio State’s play-calling after the 17-14 loss to Michigan State on Saturday — in which the Buckeyes only had five first downs and 132 total yards — while failing to even rush for 10 yards.
Elliott rushed for just 33 yards on 12 carries.
