Eddie George posted this picture on Instagram of himself and Ezekiel Elliott having fun at the ESPYs, and that's as good a reason as any to talk about the ridiculous amount of rushing stats between these guys, probably the two best running backs at Ohio State in the last 25 years.
| GAMES | CARRIES | YARDS | YARDS PER CARRY | TOUCHDOWNS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EDDIE GEORGE | 49 | 683 | 3768 | 5.5 | 44 |
| EZEKIEL ELLIOTT | 35 | 592 | 3961 | 6.7 | 43 |
It's kind of remarkable how similar the two players were statistically, but it's also telling that it may be a very long time before we see the likes of another Zeke or Eddie. There's another narrative as well, which is how college football has evolved in terms of scoring, offensive tactics, and how defenses deal with the former, but that's an article for another time.
