Mendoza Becomes 18th Heisman Winner To Capture National Championship - Heisman (Thanks to Joe for this one)
The newest member of the Heisman Fraternity, Fernando Mendoza, joined an even more exclusive club Monday night (Jan. 19), becoming just the 18th person to win the award and a national title in the same season after leading Indiana to a 27-21 win over Miami in the College Football Playoff.
Mendoza, the CFP National Championship Offensive Player of the Game, passed for 186 yards without an interception , but it was his fourth-down, 12-yard touchdown run with 9:18 to go in the fourth quarter that turned out to be the decisive score, giving the Hoosiers a 24-14 lead.
