Obviously, at this point, we have all seen the alternates that will be on full display this weekend against Penn State. Initially, there was a lot of negative feedback about them. Yesterday, when they released more details, it seemed to flip some opinions. There will always be those who don't think a brand like Ohio State should do alternates, which I understand. Personally, I think they at least help in recruiting. If it didn't give Ohio State at least a slight edge I don't think Urban would be doing them. With that being said, I thought we could take a look at some of the reactions to the new release yesterday.

I think you get the point. Whether we agree or not, these seem to have some impact on recruiting.
