I am trying to remember exactly what play it was, but Samuel faked peppers out of his jock strap, stuck him left and cut right.

Inside the play: Best 8-yard catch-and-run you'll see sets up Buckeyes

upload_2016-11-27_0-3-2.png
Curtis Samuel eluded Jabrill Peppers and several other Wolverines on a key play during Ohio State's tying drive.

Lined up in the backfield to the right of J.T. Barrett, Samuel took a short toss from the Ohio State quarterback near the 30-yard line and had nowhere to go as he closed in on the right sideline with Michigan linebacker Jabrill Peppers in front of him. But after Samuel shook free with a cutback to his left while tracking backward, his work was just beginning. He tried another cutback to his right that was cut short, as he ran into offensive lineman Jamarco Jones in the middle of the field, and he was a full 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage as he probed left, looking for an alley to head upfield. One more stutter-step move sent two Wolverines flying past him, opening some daylight that allowed him to lower his pads and bulldoze to the 16-yard line to set up a manageable fourth-and-1, with everything on the line and Ohio State trailing by a field goal.

I'm not sure that's the play he's talking about. The play where Curtis shook Jabrill was earlier in the game. Curtis was running left but made a sharp cut to his right. The cut was so sharp, Curtis almost fell. Maybe 1st or 2nd quarter.

There was one the first play in OT. Curtis around the left side, heading towards the sideline and he almost tripped cutting back inside.

That's the exact play I was talking about. Good catch. For some reason I thought it was earlier in the game. I still haven't been able to think clearly about this game.

There's only 5 or so plays stick out that I remember vividly. I'll have to rewatch.

That play
The game winner.
Both interceptions.
Dremont Jones blowing up a play in the backfield as soon as the ball was snapped.
