Good article about Mendoza. He's not only the greatest player to ever wear the IU football uniform, he's a man of character at a time when character seems to be in short supply. A few quotes:
"The throws he makes, they just wow you every time. The job he’s done this year has been nothing short of remarkable. He’s the best football player in the country, and I don’t think it’s close. He’s done such a phenomenal job being a leader for us, somebody we can depend on, we can count on every single time. He’s fantastic at everything he does.” - Aiden Fisher
"He’s just the ultimate professional, a wonderful teammate. He prepares like no one I’ve ever seen. He works his butt off like no one I’ve ever seen and he’s just an awesome locker room guy on top of that.” - Pat Coogan
"All the stuff you hear him say, it’s all authentic and real. He cares more about winning and his teammates than he does about himself, and I think that’s a good lesson for other student-athletes to see or the next generation around the country — that it’s not all about you.” - Scott Dolson
We've been beyond fortunate to have this man lead our football team, and represent Indiana University, for a season. He'll be a Hoosier legend forever!
More on Mendoza. I'm sure he's going to give us another memorable performance. Can't wait to see the "Wizard" play!
Fernando Mendoza shifts focus from homecoming to Hoosiers' run - ESPN
I’ve never seen a more clutch QB at the college level than Mendoza. Just got it done over and over, mostly in hard road environments. This Saturday they should be announcing the statue design, which should be him diving into the end zone
There’s a video of Mendoza going to a club with Mike Katic and a bunch of the team after the game, they got bottle service, a sign that said “flippin champs” and sang we are the champions 😂
@hoosierdaddy Katic sure did get a lot of love after the NC. Gruden called him out too!
Can't wait for this guy to come coach us in 30 years after an illustrious NFL career
