Ezekiel Elliott's dad says son was in hospital week of Michigan State game
Jim O'Connor-USA TODAY Sports
Ezekiel Elliott was held to just 33 yards on 12 carries in Ohio State's loss to Michigan State two weeks ago, and now a photo has surfaced that might explain why.
Elliott's father, Stacy, posted a photo Saturday of his son in hospital the week of the Spartans game, claiming it was "a miracle" that he could even stand on game day.

Why he decided to release the photos two weeks after the fact is odd, but perhaps the CFP committee will take this in to account when discussing the Buckeyes' playoff chances.
