Suck it Saban.
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 7 strong-side defensive ends and Alabama signed 2 Strong-side strong-side defensive ends.
Urban Meyer puts a higher premium on on SDEs than Little Nicky does. Hopefully there will be another Bosa on this list soon.

Will Joey Bosa and Nick Bosa be Buckeyes at the same time? If they do opposing offensive lines and quarterbacks may want to take the week off when they play Ohio State.
