NEW STORY: My @sbnation.bsky.social debut!
When Mitch Johnson was introduced as the head coach of the Spurs back in May, he said, “I will attempt to do it my way.”
From Pop’s voice to Johnson’s vision, the Spurs are finding their rhythm again.

So incredibly happy for Indiana. No one had them on their radar before the season, and they get a perfect season and a natty. Incredible!

Fernando Mendoza shows why he won the Heisman and why he'll be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. What a run! That might be ball game.

Mark Fletcher finds the end zone again and Miami is in this. It's his second touchdown of the evening as Indiana leads 17-14 in the 4th quarter. 14:57 left in regulation.

A blocked punt by Mikail Kamara is recovered in the end zone. That's huge and could be the game winning score given how this game is going.

And we have a ball game. Mark Fletcher races to the endzone from 57 yards out. It's the longest run of his career.

Fernando Mendoza is taking some shots from the Miami defense. He couldn't complete the pass for a touchdown.
Indiana settles for the 34 yard FG as the Hoosiers go up 3-0 late 1Q.

Miami's field goal is no good! Doinked it! Indiana is going to take a 10-0 lead into the locker room, and they get the ball to start the 2nd half.

No clue why Miami doesn't use Fletcher on that drive. It clearly was giving Indiana trouble on their past drives.

Feels like that should have been some sort of penalty for that hit on Mendoza (who didn't have the ball).
