The classic Villain vs. Hero matchup. You have the former bad boys of college football back with a polarizing QB. On the other side, you have the long-suffering Hoosiers. No double digit seasons until the last 2 seasons. Good guy QB, a coach with everything to prove and a story to finish. The first half was mostly Indiana, they dominated the trenches and left Miami stunned, but the score was just 10-0. 2nd half was different. Miami stormed their way back into this game, only for Indiana to snatch momentum right as Miami was wrapping their hand around it with a blocked punt TD. Miami responded with a pair of thunder claps. Then, we got the Mendoza Moment, a dive into the endzone on 4th down to take a 2 score lead. Malachi Toney would have none of that and brought it back to a 3 point lead. Indiana would need 1 more drive. Mendoza, Cooper and Becker came up huge on 3rd downs. But a false start turned a sure TD into 3 points. It all came down to Miami’s final drive. The heroes won, IU won

What a damn game. Back and forth ass clenching affair. Mendoza had the play of his life getting the late TD, blocked punt came through huge. Only thing I can say is holy shit , this game took years off my life but it was well worth it. Thank you God for making me an Indiana Hoosier.

A boy from the city of Miami, a boy who was doubted by Miami, a boy whose father played with the head coach of Miami, a boy who went to their games in Miami, a boy who came to my great state and made my friends feel something, took that awful team who historically is the worst of all time to this game, and a boy who put his life on the line to defeat the evil that is Carson Beck. As much as I hate IU I can say without certain that Carson Beck is the evil that is among us. He is the worst human to ever exist. I’ve hated that man since he was at Georgia. I’ve been under attack of that man’s fire since he was at Georgia. He’s been in college longer than it took us to realize where Vandy was on a map. But by the grace of God, we get to see this young man and the Hoosiers, of all teams, kill Carson Beck’s hopes and dreams on the biggest stage. I have been granted the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Thank you Mendoza. Enjoy Vegas. Also thank you Cignetti. And last but not least fuck IU.

What a turnaround for Indiana football. From being considered one of the most losingest CFB programs to winning a national championship. Miami played them hard to the end and had a chance to win it but couldn’t get the job done. What a run for Miami but Indiana was destined to win this game.

What a fantastic game and what a fantastic set of games the CFP has given us. I LOVE the 12 team playoff wayyyy more than 4 team. Its basically perfect. Its so crazy how Indiana one of the doormats of power football just won a Natty. 16-0 season one of the best of all time. Fucking insane. Mendoza is a gritty character qb. Cignetti is Saban 2.0 Running backs got juice. Breakout wide receivers. And a top 5 defense. Yeah this season was special. Game started very defensive then at the end both teams got to moving the ball. Miami almost had it. Special teams screwed them and Beck throwing the pick gave them the L. Congrats Hoosier... but don't forget you are still a basketball school.

I can't put into words what this means to me honestly, I would always watch the IU games not expected much then last year Cig came in and had a phenomenal year. We were on the rise but I didn't see this, especially not in year two. But we did it, the greatest CFB story of All Time, so with that being said,
HOO
