Roman Wilson knows Ohio State did not match Michigan’s toughness in The Game. Though this year’s version was closer, the Wolverines gritted out a 30-24 win to clinch the B1G East and roll into Indianapolis.

After the game, Wilson was asked about the topic of toughness, and he did not mince words. He said the Buckeyes have not gotten tougher over the years and appeared to call out Marvin Harrison Jr.

“No. Definitely not,” said Wilson in regard to Ohio State getting tougher. “I told the receivers this whole week: You’ve got guys back there — this is a thing I thought too — guys who you want to put on the Louis V, the thousand-dollar outfit. You want to act hard. But when we’re out there, they’re not hard. I see the film: You’re not tough.

“And I don’t think I’m the toughest guy in the world. But I’m out there, I’m getting physical. I don’t think they wanted it like I wanted it.”

Wilson did not name any player, but his reference to players wearing “Louis V” did catch the attention of fans on social media. Harrison notably wore a pair of Louis Vuitton cleats in a game during the 2022 season.

Harrison did finish The Game with 5 catches for 118 yards, but Wilson also had a touchdown in the game. Wilson also gets bragging rights once again over Harrison and the Buckeyes.
