min read
In this Jan. 12, 2015, file photo, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer, left, and Ezekiel Elliott celebrate after they defeated Oregon 42-20 in the NCAA college football playoff championship game in Arlington, Texas. Elliott apologized for the critical comments he made about play calling after the Michigan State game and says it was the wrong time to make it known he would not be returning to school next season. Elliott posted a long apology on Twitter on Monday, Nov. 23, 2015, saying, "My intentions were not to point fingers at anyone for OUR failures."
