Indiana is a college football national champion for the first time.
Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza’s incredible touchdown run in the fourth quarter provided the game-winning points for the No. 1 Hoosiers in their 27-21 win over No. 10 Miami in Monday night’s College Football Playoff national championship game.
Indiana is the first team to go 16-0 at the top level of college football in over 125 years. The sport barely existed when Yale went 16-0 in 1894.
