November 26, 2016, at the Horseshoe. Trailing 27-24 in double overtime, the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes are facing a 4th-and-1 against the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines and their ferocious defense. Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett fakes to Curtis Samuel, runs left, absorbs a hit, glances off his teammate's backside and falls to the ground.
He's right at the line of scrimmage. "The spot will decide it!" ESPN's Chris Fowler exclaims.
Rather, The Spot will decide it.
