When Ohio State matched up against the not-so-stacked Western Michigan football team on Saturday, the game predictably ended with the Buckeyes getting the W. But aside from the final score, Buckeyes running back Ezekiel Elliott literally made a worthy run and jump to the top of the list for "Highlight of the Night" in college football.
In the first quarter of the game, Elliott skied over this Western Michigan made him look like Vince Carter's Dunk of Death back in the 2000 Olympics, in which he hurdled over a 7-foot defender who was unfortunate enough to be in his way. Although Elliott's challenger in this clip wasn't seven feet tall, Elliott made you feel bad for the guy that he posterized in this clip:
Elliott is a former Missouri high school track star who was once named Gatorade Track Athlete of the Year for his speed and vertical leaping abilities. No surprise there.
