Past Ohio State and Oregon recruiting battles will impact Rose Bowl matchup
Ohio State and Oregon will face off in "The Grandaddy Of Them All", the Rose Bowl, on January 1 at 5 PM ET, with the game broadcasted on ABC. It is a rematch of the instant classic regular season game between the Bucks and Ducks, a contest in which Oregon won 32-31 in Eugene, as Ohio State failed to even attempt a game winning field goal in what was their final offensive drive of the game. The game on the field is a big win, but the game that has been played off the field, on the recruiting trail, between the two programs is going to play a massive role in determining the outcome of Saturday afternoon's College Football Playoff contest. Today, Lettermen Row takes a look at both Oregon and Ohio State to see which players that were heavily recruited by both programs will have an impact on the quarterfinal contest this week.
