Ezekiel Elliott = Josh Robinson

[HomeBoyDawg]

Is it just me or could these guys pass for twins (or at least brothers)?

Looks or talent? They look alike. Elliott is much more talented. Elliott is just as hard to tackle and much faster

Looks...but J Rob's had his moments, too.

Wasn't knocking jrob. Elliott is one of the better backs I've seen this year

Agreed. Game ends now I'm sure Cardale gets player of the game but Ezekiel is as (or almost as) deserving.

MVP would be theOSU OL and DL. Elliot is good but that OL made him look great. Meanwhile, theOSU DL made the Heisman winner look pedestrian at best.

Elliott, a sophomore, was the offensive MVP and ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries. In the past three games -- the Big Ten championship against Wisconsin, the Allstate Sugar Bowl semifinal against Alabama and the final against Oregon -- Elliott had 696 yards rushing.

Elliott is one of the best running backs I've seen in a long time. He is fast, shifty, and powerful. Of course he also had the advantage of a good OL opening some nice holes for him, which Robinson did not have (especially in our 3 losses).

Agree, but that difference in speed is huge. When Elliott breaks into the open field, he is gone. JRob has to continue to break tackles. This is what concerns me about JRob's draft stock.

The question would have to be "would Robinson have looked that good against Oregon with tOSU's o line?" I think not. JRob got "Perkins Feet" midway through season.
