THE FIVE MOST IMPORTANT OVERTIME THRILLERS IN OHIO STATE FOOTBALL HISTORY
2016: NO.2 OHIO STATE 30, NO. 3 MICHIGAN 27 (2OT)
The 113th edition of The Game became the first to be decided in overtime as Ohio State made it 12 wins in the last 13 tries against Michigan.
Both teams entered the contest with 10-1 marks and Michigan had a confidence they hadn't felt in years, as Jabrill Peppers showed when he stood at midfield in pregame scraping his cleats disrespectfully on the "O."
That swag would continue well into the third quarter as Michigan built a 17-7 lead.
A Mike Weber touchdown cut the deficit to 17-14 late in the third before Tyler Durbin's short field goal tied the game at 17 with one second left in regulation.
Ohio State's anemic offense responded in overtime as J.T. Barrett used back-to-back runs of seven and 18 yards to put Ohio State in front 24-17.
Michigan responded with a touchdown of its own when Wilton Speight threw into a tight widow and Amara Darboh made an impressive grab right near the turf to tie things up at 24.
The Wolverines could only muster a 37-yard Kenny Allen field goal on the first possession of the second overtime giving Ohio State the opening it needed.
After Barrett moved the chains on a fourth down run featuring a perfect spot by the officials, Curtis Samuel raced around left end for a 15-yard game-winner in the closed end of the Shoe.
It wasn't always pretty as Barrett completed 15-of-32 throws, the Buckeye went 3-of-16 on third down conversions and Meyer dialed up a shaky fake punt but those shortcomings only made the agony of defeat on Jim Harbaugh's face that much sweeter.

2016: CURTIS SAMUEL DELIVERS THE BROOKLYN DAGGER IN OVERTIME
Ohio State found itself in double overtime against Michigan in 2016 thanks in large part to a stagnant offense that gave Curtis Samuel just 10 touches before the final play of the game.
Facing 3rd-and-9 from the Michigan 24 yard line, trailing 27-24 in the second overtime, Samuel peeled off a drunken sideline-to-sideline zig-zag after a swing pass from Barrett for eight yards.
Now staring down a 4th-and-1 with the game on the line, Urban Meyer went to J.T. Barrett for the 30th time on the ground that afternoon and the signal-caller gained exactly one yard to move the chains following the most accurate official spot in the history of the sport.
As Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan sideline cried about the placement of the football, giving Ohio State new life with 1st-and-10 at the Michigan 15, the Buckeye braintrust opted against giving Barrett another carry, instead calling Samuel's number for just the seventh time in the run game via a shotgun give off left tackle.
Fifteen yards untouched later, Ohio State escaped with a 30-27 double overtime win over Harbaugh's squad.
Anybody tired of seeing this play yet? I didn't think so....
