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 3 tight ends and Alabama signed 4 tight ends.

Will Marcus Baugh step up this year? Or, will A.J. Alexander make a splash as a freshman? Hopefully one of the two makes a difference on the field.

Will 2015 be Baugh's breakout season?
