Indiana University Defeats #1 Team Ohio State in Thriller – Wins Big 10 Championship for First Time Since 1967 – Star Quarterback Mendoza Praises God

HOOSIERS MAKE HISTORY!

On Saturday night the most anticipated college football game of the year took place in Indianapolis. The number one ranked Ohio State Buckeyes took on the Indiana Hoosiers for the 2025 Big Ten Championship.

This was the game of the new millennia! Indiana beat Ohio State for the first time in three-plus decades. And, this was the school’s first Big Ten Championship since 1967.

Coach Curt Cignetti turned the football program around in two years. The Hoosiers are now undefeated at 13-0 and will be seeded one in the national playoffs in the coming weeks.

And, Indiana was able to win despite shoddy refereeing and cheap shots by the Ohio State team.

Following the amazing nail-biter Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza praised God for the win and the spectacular year.

This guy is incredible!

Mendoza was hurt on the first play of the game but came back and led the team to victory.

Mendoza is a young man that is a class act. He didn’t make it about himself.

He thanked God, talked about him teammates, and he is capturing America’s heart!
