Curtis Samuel’s game-winning touchdown celebration is the iconic moment from SB Nation’s 2016 college football Game of the Year. The previous play saw a replay review on whether quarterback J.T. Barrett had gained enough for a first down to keep Ohio State alive against their rival. The officials ruled the spot was good and on the next play Samuel was able to slice through the Michigan defense to earn the victory, and solidify their spot in the College Football Playoff.
As Samuel coasted into the end zone, the junior didn’t have a celebration planned, so the H-back just spread his arms as he waited for his teammates to mob him.
