Cignetti arrived at Indiana from James Madison and won immediately, shocking the sport in year one before delivering an undefeated title run in year two. This Hoosiers team didn’t benefit from an easy path. Indiana battled through a true gauntlet, highlighted by a massive road win over Ohio State, followed by dominant postseason victories over Alabama and Oregon. When the pressure peaked in the national championship game, Indiana proved they were the toughest, most complete team in football.

Fernando Mendoza may not have filled up the stat sheet, but his toughness, poise, and clutch performances defined the game. His legendary fourth-down quarterback draw and fearless play under constant pressure will live forever in Indiana football history. From an overlooked recruit to leading a perfect season, Mendoza solidified himself as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.

We also dive into Carson Beck’s performance, the costly late interception, and the growing questions surrounding his NFL future. Miami’s defensive front played a physical, high-level game, but Indiana’s discipline, elite special teams, and coaching excellence made the difference — including a game-changing blocked punt touchdown.

This was more than a championship win. Indiana checked every box: quarterback play, offensive line dominance, physical defense, elite tackling, special teams execution, and fearless decision-making from Curt Cignetti. This wasn’t a fluke — it was a statement.
