Ezekiel Elliott blasts play-calling, makes NFL announcement

When it rains, it pours.

Ezekiel Elliott was NOT happy with his workload in Saturday’s loss to Michigan State. The Ohio State tailback went on a rant about the lack of carries he received in the second half.

Elliott finished the game with 12 carries for 33 yards and a touchdown.

He voiced his frustrations with the media following the Buckeyes’ first B1G loss of the Urban Meyer era.

Elliott: "I deserve more than 11 carries. I really do. I can't speak for the playcaller. I don't know what was going on."

Elliott said these comments to the Ohio State radio broadcast, in addition to the Big Ten Network’s Rick Pizzo.

To make matters worse, he unofficially declared for the NFL draft just like Cardale Jones did.

Ezekiel Elliott: "This is my last game in The 'Shoe. There's no chance I'm coming back."

Elliott will likely be a first-round pick, but this sure makes things awkward in the last month of the season.
