College Football Playoff: Hoosiers Roast Ducks, Will Face Hurricanes In National Championship Game

At Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta: 


Quarterback Fernando Mendoza completed a virtually perfect game on Friday as he completed 17 of 20 passes for 177 yards and five touchdowns as the top-seeded Indiana Hoosiers (15-0) dismantled the fifth-seeded Oregon Ducks (13-2) 56-22 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, the second College Football Playoff semifinal.  


Hoosiers defensive back D'Angelo Ponds set the pace on the game's opening play from scrimmage as he intercepted Ducks quarterback Dante Moore's pass and ran it back for a touchdown.


Indiana will face off against the Miami Hurricanes (13-2) in the CFP National Championship Game at Hard Rock Cafe Stadium on Monday, January 19 (4:30 PM PST, ESPN).
