Usually people do not get to open gifts until Christmas morning, however Indiana fans are celebrating on Christmas Eve as the Hoosiers have had quite the portal haul on Tuesday. Just shortly after getting a commitment from quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the Hoosiers got a weapon for him in wide receiver Makai Jackson from Appalachian State.

To say it is a busy time for Curt Cignetti and his staff would be an understatement. With a first round exit from the CFP last week, it gives the coaching staff more time to fill holes through the portal. Information on who IU is pursuing and which players are visiting has been incredibly hard to come by but we do know the staff has been working hard and the portal class has begun with a headlining addition: former Cal Golden Bears quarterback Fernando Mendoza has committed to Indiana.

The Indiana Hoosiers are busy preparing for the biggest game in program history but “Portal Kombat” never stops. Curt Cignetti and his staff have landed another blow as they secured the commitment of former Maryland running back Roman Hemby to add to an IU backfield that will include fellow transfer (UAB) Lee Beebe, returnees Kaelon Black and Khobie Martin and freshman Sean Cuono. Hemby is a major addition and he comes to IU as one of the top running backs available in the portal.

The Hoosiers are heading back to Bloomington after finishing their last game of the season. Indiana suffered a disappointing loss to the Fighting Irish Friday night and couldn’t get things going all game long. One of the biggest things on defense was their inability for the first man to make the tackle.

Coming into the first round of the College Football Playoff, the Indiana offense was averaging 426.4 yards per game and a whopping 41.3 points per game. On a cold night in South Bend, the Hoosiers looked to keep this success going. Unfortunately for IU, the offense was uncharacteristically out of rhythm. In the first half, the Hoosiers had four drives reach Notre Dame territory, only to come away with three points, as three punts and an interception stalled many of their promising drives.
Read MoreWhat’s at Stake: The Indiana Hoosiers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish both made the College Playoff Football. In case the ramifications of that are not 100% clear, this game is part of the tournament that will decide who is the national champion. The winner of this contest gets to claim the first victory ever in the 12-team playoff and advances to the Sugar Bowl for a crack at Georgia. The Bulldogs will likely be without starting quarterback Carson Beck and that could open the door for a shot to reach the College Football Playoff Semifinals. Obviously, there are additional in-state ramifications but it gets no bigger than an actual playoff game and that is the opportunity in front of both teams on Friday night.

All eyes will be on South Bend this Friday where the #10 Indiana Hoosiers will take on #7 Notre Dame. This is the first CFP matchup ever between two schools in the same state, and the hype surrounding “The Battle For Indiana” has been building to a fever pitch. For the Hoosiers watching the media coverage, déjà vu of their Week 13 loss against Ohio State has likely begun to set in. True to their motto, this Indiana team is not daunted by the hype but rather eager to solidify their place as an emerging power with a victory.

It is all a bit surreal, when you take a step back and think about it.
Curt Cignetti and his Indiana Hoosiers program are headed to the College Football Playoff, one of just 12 teams left in the sport with a chance at winning the national title. One could say it was always possible; it just took the right person to awake the sleeping giant. But in actuality, it has felt for a long time now that the giant may be far past just sleeping. Perhaps, it was hibernating. Maybe even on life support.
