Indiana Football Champs! Cinderella Amazing Season...

    Wow. It went perfect, getting past the mid-season struggles of Iowa, and Penn State, which were close. Oregon was tense, too. Then the close win versus Ohio State. Injuries were mostly avoided. Mendoza won the Heisman. Then the Hoosiers pounded Alabama, and Oregon, much bigger than the first game.

    The final, last night, was a formidable foe in the Miami Hurricanes. It was tense. The second half the Hurricanes kept coming, and IU stayed ahead, with some clutch plays and a blocked punt in the end zone, going up ten again. Integers of 10 most of the game for Indiana's comfort, then holding on six till the end. Jamari Sharpe picked up the game sealing throw with less than a minute to go.

    All of the Hoosiers contributed. Omar Cooper did his fine things. Elijah Sarrat was not stellar, but Charlie Becker came in huge, clutch.  Nowakowski, the big tight end, ran for a touch down and made big plays.

       The defense played well enough. Kamara on special teams added the vital second half score when IU's offense was stalling. Black showed power. Hemby finally got a few good runs. Mendoza ran his remarkable touch down run.

    We are now tied all time for Yale of 1894. Who they play? Sisters of the Poor, for sure.

    Remarkable. Clutch. Gritty. Well honed, well executed. Few mistakes.

    Cignetti brought in a dynamo, with players and coaches and plans, the mental mind set to win.

    It happened. Last night.

    16-0. Perfect for the ages.
