WATCH: Shaun Wade, Garrett Wilson battle for catch in the ‘Shoe Saturday

Ohio wide receiver Garrett Wilson and cornerback Shaun Wade had one epic battle for a ball Justin Fields threw in the ‘Shoe on Saturday.

We’ve always heard stories of how heated practices can get, even on teams as close as what we see with the brotherhood at Ohio State. In fact, a little infighting and competition amongst teams can be a healthy thing if handled correctly.

The Ohio State Football Twitter account shared a video of one of those instances on Saturday with the Buckeyes getting in the ‘Shoe and staging a little scrimmage. From what it looks like, with the ones going against the ones, quarterback Justin Fields lobbed a pass up to the corner of the end zone targeting Garrett Wilson.

There’s only one problem with that. The talented sophomore wide receiver was being checked by future NFL first-rounder Shaun Wade and both went up for the ball. A battle and wrestle for position ensued and it looked like Wilson may have won the battle, coming down in the end zone with the football, but it was close and tough to tell for sure.

You can clearly see the two “passionately debating” the whole thing after the incident with teammates celebrating or joining in on the cause. No matter what the complete outcome of the play was, it was easy to see the talent and athleticism from both.
