Apologies to those who read this before it went to Blog Heaven.
Ohio State has dominated That Team on the football field during the past decade. How have the Buckeyes fared against them in recruiting since 2012? Over the next couple of weeks I will compare Ohio State's and That Team's recruiting by position during the Urban Meyer era.
Ohio State recruited 11 offensive tackles and That Team recruited 8 offensive tackles.
7 of Ohio State's 11 offensive tackles were signed in 2014 and 2015.
