If you're not a football fan, and didn't watch the College Football Playoff national championship, well now you know who won. Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza informed people of all interests and professions when he posted the achievement on his LinkedIn.
'Monday night, my teammates and I had the honor of raising the National Championship trophy and bringing a CFB title back to Bloomington, Indiana, for the first time in history,' Mendoza wrote in his post. 'With the guidance of our coaches and the unwavering support of Hoosier Nation, our band of brothers made the unbelievable believable.

Two days ago, I became a National Champion in that same stadium, surrounded by the family who never stopped believing in me. 2. Take the risk: When it’s 4th and 5 at the 12-yard line, go for it. 3. Remember who got you there: Thank you to my teammates, coaches, support staff, professors, and everyone behind the scenes who helped make this happen.'
