Last night’s College Football Playoff National Championship was a historic and hard-fought affair as the Indiana rallied to defeat Miami 27–21, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Indiana completed a remarkable perfect 16-0 season and captured the first national title in program history, overcoming decades of past struggles to reach college football’s highest summit. The Hoosiers built an early lead, benefited from a key special teams play and saw Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza deliver a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown that ultimately sealed the victory. Miami mounted a late charge, but Indiana’s defense and a late interception from Carson Beck preserved the historic triumph in front of a raucous crowd.
