Sufficient during title game
Mendoza was 15-for-23 passing for 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 13-10 victory over Ohio State. He also had five rushes for negative three yards.
ANALYSIS
The first half was rough for Mendoza, as an errant pass to Lorenzo Styles resulted in a Davison Igbinosun interception and Ohio State's lone touchdown five plays later. Fortunately for him, Indiana's defense held up, and his second half was defined by a lob-pass touchdown to Elijah Sarratt. Indiana ensured a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, not only ensuring IU's best-ever season but also improved chances for Mendoza to finish it with a Heisman under his accomplishments.
