I was on 11warriors and reading a thread about Elliott. I guess even I didn't realize just how good this kid is. He is 295 yards away from breaking Eddie George's single season rushing record. While he probably won't get that, it's interesting looking at the stats. He has a good shot at finishing the season 2nd behind George though, needs 133 yards to eclipse Keith Byers there.
George: 1927 yards, 328 rushes 5.8 average
Byers: 1764, 336 rushes 5.25 average
Elliott: 1632, 237 rushes 6.8 average
Elliott has nearly 100 less attempts than both George and Byers. Imagine his stats had the offensive line had a pulse the first 2 weeks of the season where he rushed for a combined 76 yards, followed by a 65 yard game in week 3. Week two and three he had 15 carries combined
His 230 yards against Bama ranks 6th all time at OSU for single game rushing record. He ties Clarrett there, Elliot did it on 20 carries, Clarrett did it with 31 carries...
