Mother, I’m sad that you’re gone, but am happy you’re liberated from your pain. You did so much, and wanted so much more. The world burned brightly for you. You lived so fearlessly and confidently.
Your life was a series of voyages. It’s time for the next adventure. Go fly now!

Fernando Mendoza, Curt Cignetti and Indiana completed one of the greatest stories in college football. The era of the quick reset is there for Cal to succeed, and they have the right coach in Tosh Lupoi & QB in Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele to do that.

Remember when Cal decided to sub Fernando Mendoza in for Chandler Rogers to run the football, then Fernando Mendoza transferred, won the Heisman Trophy, and had one of the most clutch runs in college football history to put him minutes away from a national title.

Five turnovers. If it’s four, Buffalo probably wins. If it’s three, Buffalo definitely wins.
