The Indiana Hoosiers are finally college football national champions and much of that success this season has come thanks to the play of Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Mendoza and Indiana bested Miami 27-21 on Monday night in the College Football Playoff National Championship and the Hoosiers completed the undefeated season to become college football's latest champions. With this victory, Mendoza likely now becomes the No. 1 overall pick at the upcoming NFL Draft, which the Las Vegas Raiders hold as they potentially draft their quarterback of the future.

Before all of that though, Mendoza and Indiana had a championship to celebrate! After Mendoza's on-air postgame interview with ESPN, the Indiana quarterback got choked up with emotion in the wake of the tense, back-and-forth game.

What a moment for Mendoza and the Hoosiers!
