Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.

Ohio State defeated Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl. How have the Buckeyes fared against the Tide in recruiting since 2012? Over the next couple of weeks I will compare Ohio State's and Alabama's recruiting by position during the Urban Meyer era.

Between 2012-2015 Ohio State signed 11 offensive tackles and Alabama signed 11 offensive tackles.

If you ever wonder what position(s) a head coach deems most important look at the number of players the coach signs at each position. Urban Meyer and Nick Saban covet offensive tackles.
