Feel free to add some.

Semaj 19 yard tunnel screen on 3rd and 8 from the 25 - We answer psu’s initial FG with a tough 75 TD drive which would’ve resulted in a FG if not for his knack in space. He takes it from the 25 to the 6 and a couple plays later Blake finds the end zone.

JJ designed run on 3rd and 10 - This was on the aforementioned TD drive. Probably not "hidden"...but we immediately punt it back to PSU without it.

Rod Moore TFL - Now up 7-3 we need a stop to keep some momentum in a hostile environment. First down and Allen runs it right in our face for 9 yards on first down. Next play is a quick WR screen that, at the snap, had Moore giving an 11 yard cushion on 2nd and 1. Without any help (Mikey is being blocked) he fires like an absolute missile and closes those 11 yards in an instant. Suddenly it's 3rd and 2, and Allar narrowly misses a first down on a QB draw (one he gets had Moore not gotten the TFL). PSU punts.

JJ rope on the move for 12 to CJ - Next drive we're at our own 20. First and 10 and JJ gets immediate pressure from both Chop, and a blitzing LB on the other end. JJ rolls to his right and throws a strike to CJ on an out. Bonus hidden play to CJ as well as he fluidly turns it up field for 5 more to get us the first. A sack there and we're very likely punting.

Kenneth Grant being a 340lb freak - Ok...this one wasn't hidden, but I bring it up because Grant has to first blow up/toss aside none other than Michael Barrett to do so. Barrett is engaged somewhat with a psu lineman, and Grant sees Allen hitting the crease. Kenny tosses our own Barrett like a ragdoll, and then the chase was on. Dude would get drafted on that play alone. Michael Barrett probably got up complaining for a block in the back.

Rayshaun with the strip of Allar - Doesn't give up even though he's engaged, and not going to make the tackle. Textbook strip to kill any hope PSU had of continuing momentum to start the half.

Minter dialing up a Mikey blitz on 2nd and 9 late in the 4th - PSU is pinned at their 10. Mikey comes off the defensive right side and pressures Allar to a quick bad throw to #44. Had Allar had any normal pocket then that was a big gain waiting to happen. Will is left guarding two players (#44 and #13) and a throw to the slot picks up 15 yards.

AJ Fah-king Barner whips Chop Robinson 1 on 1 for the nail in the coffin - Michigan does what Michigan does best. Sherrone dials up Duo. Henderson and Keegan, and Drake and Zinter, double and erase both DT's (and Keegan beautifully comes off to pick up the LB firing down) The only thing standing in the way of Blake firing up the buses is a transfer TE from Indiana blocking an All Big Ten Defensive End. Ballgame.
