It was, yeah.

You know, and Indiana had scored a ton of points in their previous two playoff games.

This one kind of got off to a slow start, and I was wondering, geez, maybe this Miami defense will be able to slow the Hoosiers down.

They have all this NFL talent on their defensive line.

They were getting a lot of big hits on the Indiana quarterback earlier.

That's Fernando Mendoza.

But he ended up being the hero for the Hoosiers tonight.

He had two key late fourth-down conversions in the fourth quarter, including this rushing touchdown.

where he made this big picturesque leap toward the end zone with the ball outstretched.

That put them ahead 10 points and showing what made him the winner of the Heisman Trophy and probably the number one pick in this spring's NFL draft.

How are Hoosier fans taking all this?

I think they're out of their minds.

Miami got the ball back down six with just about two minutes to go last night.

It was their last chance.

And the crowd at the game in Miami was so loud that Miami couldn't snap the ball in time.

Throne Stadium, after the game, fans packed Kirkwood Avenue.

That's the main drag off of campus in Bloomington.

I think Indiana fans just probably thought this was literally never going to happen in their entire lives.

How could it even be possible to win the Big Ten with Ohio State and Michigan standing in the way, let alone a national title?

But here they are.
