this is somehow CJ strouds fault

Fernando Mendoza throws a pick six-his first interception in a loooong time, since the Big 10 Championship vs Ohio State. CJ Stroud didn't play much but looked alright, the comeback season is incoming from Stroud. Really unfortunate he won't have Jayden Higgins, terrible tearing your ACL during join practices, and he is such a good reciever.

This was a really fun comeback. AOC was playing like prime TB12 the final quarter of that game. Also that kicker was trying his hardest to not make the lineup. Raiders win despite some really bad play from Mendoza (The Pick 6 was a really bad read. He wants that throw back for sure)

Suuuper late to this but it was a fun watch while doing the dishes a minute ago 🍴🍽️

Fernando Mendoza calling Joe Buck “Mr. Buck” lol if I didn’t know any better I’d think this kid was just being annoying but he’s actually this polite and respectful

A new low for the Texans even tho its preseason

@underwoodforheisman

Damn, Aiden O Connell mogged Mendoza. Indiana in shambles

That finish was pretty good

@jthemiracleman

Not a great game by Fernando Mendoza made worse by AOC deciding to have his best game ever tonight. Mendoza will open as QB2, but this game will make that decision harder for Kubiak. But that ending was electric, I missed that.

@adhdsportsfanatic

What a nutty comeback. Fun game!!

The points don’t matter, but the plays were good it’s always nice to see your team get a pick six it can it confuses me why you’d play your first team in the preseason? I understand getting minutes in for fitness but surely you can do that in practice. American football is a contact heavy injury heavy sport. It’s why they only play 17 games a year plus a few in the postseason it’s not like other sports where you play 30-100 games each season

So-called 1st over all pick Fernando Mendoza could only muster up 3 points, while Purdue LEGEND Aidan O'Connell put the team on his back and won them the game. I'll let y'all come to your own conclusions on this one.

Pretty fun game on both ends. Not much of a Raiders fan, but I gotta appreciate the defense and work on both ends of both teams. What about that last half though? That was fun!

Ogunbawale has never played like that
