Last week Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott expressed dissatisfaction with the Buckeyes’ game plan after he got just 12 carries in a loss to Michigan State.

Elliott took heat for his comments, even though coach Urban Meyer said he agreed: Elliott should have gotten more attempts.

Saturday, after Alabama’s Derrick Henry ran a school-record 46 times in the Tide’s victory over Auburn in the Iron Bowl, Elliott took to Twitter to show his appreciation for the play-calling.
