What are some of the best plays and moments from Buckeye football that go under appreciated?

I have two: Curtis Samuel's 8 yard run the play before J.T. obviously got the first down against Michigan in 2016. Samuel ran about 50 yards to gain 8. If he gets tackled anywhere from a 7 yard gain or less, Urban doesn't go for it on 4th, and sends Tyler Durbin out to try and send it to a third overtime. Durbin has a notoriously bad game kicking, so who knows if he makes it or not.

My second is Parris Campbell's 75 yard jet sweep touchdown in the 4th quarter against Michigan in 2018. OSU had firm control of the game at that juncture, but this play epitomizes the gap between the two teams. Michigan's safety has a solid angle to tackle Campbell for about a 10 yard gain. But Campbell just breezes past him, and by the time he reaches the end zone, there's not a Wolverine within twenty yards of him.
