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 and 2015 Ohio State recruited 7 offensive guards and Alabama recruited 7 offensive guards and two offensive centers.

Can you name a better offensive line coach in the country? I can't.
