Runs Through the Heart of the South

With the Buckeyes holding on to a 34-28 lead in the fourth quarter, Ezekiel Elliott took the handoff from Cardale Jones, cuts inside and ran away from the talented Crimson Tide defenders for an 85 yard score that seemingly ran through the heart of the South and put Ohio State up by thirteen. The defense held off Alabama’s final drive to lead to a victory and placed the Ohio State in the National Championship game.
