Five Things: Ohio State vs. Indiana
1 / 5
5. Elliott dominant: Ezekiel Elliott (pictured here) carried 23 times for a career-high 277 yards, putting himself back among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy if he wasn’t there already. He scored on three long runs in the second half. Elliott’s 55-yard run gave the Buckeyes their first lead, 13-10 with 8:57 left in the third quarter. An interception by Jones led to a touchdown for Indiana, which surged back in front 17-13 with 2:23 to go in the third. Elliott responded with a 65-yard run with 1:02 left in the third. Elliott seemingly put the game away with his third score, a 75-yard run with 10:24 to go. The Buckeyes led 34-20 at that point. But Indiana got back into it with its own big play, a 79-yard run by Diamont with 10:03 remaining. Elliott tied Keith Byars for second on Ohio State’s all-time single-game rushing list. Byars rushed for 277 against Illinois in 1984.
