His grandparents are from Cuba.
And I'm not sure.
Obviously, he would be the first Heisman winner to be Cuban-American born, right?
Yes.
Maybe the first Cuban quarterback to actually win also a national championship.
I mean, he put that team on his back, when they had to have it.
That fourth down, that was fourth down, that quarterback sneak?
How in the hell?
Who called?
You talking about a ballsy call?
That's dignity.
Hey, listen, that's the one thing you don't expect, but as far as they have to go,
to score, I wasn't expecting that.
Oh, Joe, it's fourth and five.
You're not even expecting them to go for it.
Let alone the play that they call.
Listen, that was a great play.
Mendoza, right there, when he got that ball and took off, that moment in his effort to make sure I'm going to score...
by any means necessary and jumping and diving and just, you know, putting his body, his self in harm's way, putting the ball in harm's way just to get that touchdown, that lets you know how much this game meant to him to ensure that he did win the game.
Heavy.
