Apologies to those who read this article 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 and 2015 Ohio State recruited four inside linebackers and Alabama recruited five inside linebackers.
