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 6 weak-side defensive ends and Alabama signed 4 weak-side defensive ends.

Ohio State signed three dominant ends in Noah Spence, Adolphus Washignton and Jalyn Holmes. A real shame that Noah Spence is no longer with the team.

Noah Spence will be missed. Hopefully he gets his life together at Eastern Kentucky.
