No. 3 wideout Charlie Becker played like a No. 1 against Ohio State’s vaunted defense, racking up 126 yards on six catches. Elijah Sarratt continued his prowess as a contested-catch weapon, securing a 17-yard fade for the touchdown throw from Fernando Mendoza that stood up as the game-winner.
Fernando Mendoza overcame an early injury scare to lead Indiana to their first Big Ten title and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.
Indiana hadn’t beaten Ohio State since 1988 — a span of 32 straight games without a win (one game was a tie) — and then did so with everything on the line: an unbeaten regular season, the conference championship, the No. 1 seed in the CFP, and the Heisman Trophy.
Fernando Mendoza did it again. The Indiana quarterback won his first Big Ten championship in a thrilling 13-10 win Saturday night over Ohio State. Afterward, he celebrated with another enthusiastic postgame interview, akin to his big game showings in the past.
Georgia beat Alabama in the SEC Championship, earning the Bulldogs their 16th overall conference title. Indiana upset Ohio State to win its first Big Ten title since 1967.
After returning to the trail last month, it's unclear if Giants general manager Joe Schoen did any personal scouting from Friday through Saturday. Assistant general manager Brandon Brown, who scouted Penn State vs. Rutgers last week, also appeared to be off the trail.
Republicans in the Indiana state Senate could give President Donald Trump a major political black eye this week — and the conservative voters who elected them say they don’t mind.
