COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The play call was simple, but it wound up creating a complex problem for Ohio State.
The fix turned out to be pretty straightforward as well: If a “T swing pass” goes haywire, make sure the football is in the hands of a truly special talent.
Curtis Samuel pulled off a patchwork fix on the fly against one of the nation’s toughest defenses in the pressure cooker of The Game in one of the most exciting non-scoring plays in the history of the rivalry.
Samuel has proven himself pretty useful at turning nothing into something, which made the junior H-back’s sideline-to-sideline, triple-juking, 8-yard reception in the second overtime even more memorable than his clinching touchdown in the 30-27 double-overtime thriller on Saturday at the Horseshoe.
