Indiana Hoosier quarterback Fernando Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy, Saturday night, in New York. He is the first Hoosier to win the Heisman. Mendoza led all finalists in first place votes in each geographical region. The other finalists were Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin, and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Quarterbacks have won the Heisman four out of the last five years. Indiana will play at the Rose Bowl January 1. They will face the winner between Alabama and Oklahoma. Those two teams play each other next week.

This sure has many scratching their heads. IU barely beat OSU and Mendoza had at least 20 other QBs with more yards. Goes to show you dont have to be the best to win this award. Just be on the winning team.
