Becker made some great clutch catches on poorly thrown balls last night.  If you told me he would go on to have a solid ten year NFL career after last night, I'd buy that.  He's not going to be a multi-time All-Pro - but a solid career with a Tyree catch everyone remembers wouldn't shock me.

Mendoza played unreal in the playoffs prior to last night; Miami's D had a big impact on him.  I think my takeaway from the playoffs is Mendoza's ceiling is as high as Burrow - but his floor is lower and he's going to need a top 5-ish O line.  Possibly the biggest difference between Cal and Indiana is he had the full confidence of Cignetti.  Without the 4th down TD run, I doubt Indiana wins.  With it, Mendoza goes down in the books as a legend.  They don't make that call at Cal last year.

I'm more irritated CBS used his shot in their college basketball intro for three decades than with Smart personally.  My mother grew up in Crown Point Indiana and they were Purdue all the way, so I've never liked Indiana - I mostly picked Smart in my comment to embody that general distain.  That game was definitely one Syracuse lost more than Indiana won.
