INDIANAPOLIS — The first hit Indiana football quarterback Fernando Mendoza took in the Big Ten title game nearly ended his night.
Mendoza was on the receiving end of a violent hit from Ohio State defensive end Caden Curry on the game's first offensive snap, leaving him laying motionless and face-down on the ground for what seemed like an eternity to the IU fans getting settled into their seats at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday night, Dec. 6.
