Former Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott has been voiced his displeasure with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh in the past, but he took it to the next level on Friday. Speaking with Paul Finebaum on ESPN Radio, the projected top-10 draft pick went after the U-M frontman.
"(Harbaugh) needs to get in check with reality," Elliott said. " ... At the end of the day, you can't talk smack about a rivalry when you haven't won a rivalry game."

Elliott isn't completely wrong. The Buckeyes blew out the Wolverines 42-13 in their first Harbaugh-era rivalry game back in November. However, Michigan won both of its games against Ohio State when Harbaugh was on the field as the team's starting quarterback in 1985 and 1986.
Elliott and Harbaugh have gone back and forth on Twitter over the past month on issues ranging from the NCAA satellite camp controversy and beef between Harbaugh and OSU AD Gene Smith. Given their history, don't be surprised if Harbaugh comes back at the Elliott in short order.
