Mendoza established himself as the No. 1 overall pick weeks before ultimately securing the Heisman Trophy and a national title. The only question remaining at that point was which team would find their way to the top slot in the draft.

But after a pair of blowouts to get them to the championship, the finale put a bright spotlight on their ability of execute in the clutch. Just one dumb slip-up could have cost them their fairytale ending, but everything went right in the big moments, all the way through to the Carson Beck interception that sealed the win.
