Ohio State legend Ezekiel Elliott just gave Michigan another L with this tweet

Ezekiel Elliott just handed Michigan football another L on Twitter.
Ohio State football keeps racking up wins over Michigan football at an alarming rate.
The supposed best rivalry in the Big Ten has become a hammer vs. nail rivalry this century, as the Ohio State Buckeyes have seemingly done whatever they wanted against the Michigan Wolverines. It’s been a while since Michigan beat Ohio State on the gridiron. Ohio State legend and Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott knows all about that and handed Michigan another L.
Pro Football Focus tweeted out a graphic on Monday afternoon about how dominant the Wolverines defensive backfield has been for the last half-decade or so. Since 2014, Michigan had the five best defensive backs when it comes to lowest completion percentage allowed. That’s impressive, but it’s also misleading. Michigan hasn’t beaten Ohio State at any point in that span.
An Ohio State fan replied to PFF College with an obvious, but subtle dig at the school up north. “And still seem to get torched at the end of November every year. That’s tough #GoBucks.” This tweet got well over 100 likes, gaining even more attention by who quote tweeted him later Monday night.
Elliott absolutely crushed Michigan with his epic quote tweet of “Don’t gotta throw it when u run for 350 lol”. Even in quarantine, Elliott found away to hand the Wolverines yet another loss to the Buckeyes on the football field. No games where played, but Michigan still found a way to lose a game it didn’t even know it was playing in.
Ezekiel Elliott runs all over Michigan on Twitter with his hilarious troll.
Elliott spending three years playing for Urban Meyer at Ohio State before being the No. 4 overall pick by the Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft. Though he only played the Wolverines twice in his college career, Zeke was fed the rock repeatedly and ate Michigan’s lunch on both occasions.
In 2014, the sensational sophomore had 17 carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns. Ohio State would win the inaugural College Football Playoff as the No. 4 seed a few weeks later. As a junior in 2015, Elliott crushed the Wolverines’ soul with 30 carries for 214 yards and two touchdowns. Elliott averaged 7.1 yards per rushing attempt vs. Michigan while playing for Ohio State.
So the reason great pass defense statistics are so misleading are because it doesn’t factor in stopping the run whatsoever. Michigan football leaked like a sieve in both games Elliott played against them. Plus, when your team is leading like Ohio State often does, you milk the clock by pounding the rock with a bell-cow back like Elliott en route to a rivalry weekend victory.
Elliott just ran over Michigan football yet again with another epic quote tweet for the ages.
