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.

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.

Curt Cignetti’s first season in charge of the Indiana University football program resulted in the most wins in school history, a top ten ranking and a berth in the College Football Playoff. The Hoosiers drew a trip to South Bend to play the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. On Friday night, the best season in Indiana football history ended in disappointment as Notre Dame overwhelmed the Hoosiers and rolled to a 27-17 victory to advance to the Sugar Bowl against the Georgia Bulldogs.

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.
