About This Game
Indiana delivered a stunning upset in the CFP Quarterfinal, dominating Alabama 38-3 in a decisive performance that left no doubt about the home team's superiority. The Hoosiers struck first through Nico Radicic's opening field goal, then quarterback Fernando Mendoza took command, threading precise passes through Alabama's secondary. Mendoza connected with Charlie Becker for a 21-yard touchdown, followed by short scoring passes to Omar Cooper Jr. and Elijah Sarratt, all in an explosive second quarter that put Indiana firmly in control. Alabama's lone response came via Conor Talty's 28-yard field goal in the third quarter—a consolation that barely dented Indiana's momentum.
The Hoosiers' balanced attack proved impossible to stop. While Mendoza's arm dominated early, Indiana's ground game delivered the knockout blows. Kaelon Black punched in a 25-yard touchdown run and Roman Hemby added an 18-yard score in the fourth quarter, putting the game completely beyond reach. This wasn't a competitive championship showdown—it was a masterclass in home-field dominance, with Indiana's offense executing flawlessly while Alabama's defense crumbled under sustained pressure. Every drive told a story of Indiana's superiority, a narrative now captured forever in custom Gameprint wall art that visualizes this championship-round rout.
Game highlights: Indiana's dominant first-half passing (3 TDs by Mendoza), Indiana's late-game rushing attacks (Black & Hemby TDs), Nico Radicic's early field goal, Alabama's single field goal response, Indiana's complete offensive control
