(AP Photo/Paul Vernon, File) Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott was cited for driving under suspension, driving without a license and failure to control after a Sunday afternoon car accident in Arizona. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Elliott’s status for Friday’s Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame has not changed. According to the report, citing Columbus police, Elliott said he hydroplaned after hitting a puddle before hitting with another vehicle with two people. One suffered a minor injury. “He was the at-fault driver,” said Denise Alex-Bouzounis, a division spokeswoman, told the Dispatch. Elliott made national news after Ohio State saw its 23-game winning streak snapped by a 17-14 loss to Michigan State and he voiced his frustrations. He later apologized.
