COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It was one play of a couple during Ohio State's win over Western Michigan on Saturday that suggested the Buckeyes' offensive line was at least starting to figure some things out.
Ezekiel Elliott started running wide, but had to shift his run up the middle of the field when the outside no longer became an option. He had space in the middle because a pulling Jacoby Boren got the second level and took a linebacker out of the play.
Had Elliott not been tripped up, it would've gone for the kind of big-hit touchdown run he's been looking for over the last three weeks.
