Indiana's Fernando Mendoza has signature moment in Heisman campaign

On the road with 1:51 seconds left, Indiana’s Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback Fernando Mendoza boosted his own campaign.

In crunch time, Mendoza led his team on a 10-play 80-yard fourth quarter drive to go ahead 27-24. He was 5-of-9 for 77 yards and set up wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. to make the best catch of his career for the score. The amazing falling toe-tapping catch in the back of the end zone boosted Mendoza’s touchdown total to 31 on the season.

Winning in a hostile environment against a team starving for a victory and playing hard is the type of win every Heisman campaign needs. Now Mendoza has that on his resume.
