THIS ANGLE OF FERNANDO MENDOZA'S TOUCHDOWN IS ABSOLUTELY BONKERS.

THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WAS GOING TO DENY HIM FROM SCORING.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Fernando Mendoza time and time again made the throw, the run and the play when Indiana needed it the most.

In the 4th Quarter alone Mr. Heisman converted:

4th and 5
4th and 4
3rd and 4
3rd and 7

The moment was never too big for him.

Fernando Mendoza just led Indiana to their 1st National Championship.

You love to see it.

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Curt Cignetti took over the worst program in college football history and then proceeded to win the school’s first-ever national championship within just two years. It's the most remarkable coaching job in the history of sports.

Tonight they crown a new Heisman winner. Fernando is more than deserving, but even if he doesn't win, he has proven he is a one in a trillion human being on and off the field. So happy for this Hoosier. #IUFB
