Indiana football's dream season continued on Friday night.

The No. 1 seeded Hoosiers took on No. 5 seed Oregon in the College Football Playoff at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Indiana made easy work of Oregon, taking down the Ducks in blowout fashion. The Curt Cignetti-led program is officially moving on to the national championship game.

During the game, a stunning Indiana fan in a white "IU" shirt was shown constantly during the broadcast. She has since been identified.

The young woman in the white "IU" shirt has been identified as the aunt of Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

The relative of the Heisman Trophy winner made sure to go viral during the game, thanks to ESPN's cameramen.

She quickly garnered a following on social media.

We'll likely be seeing more of Mendoza's family during the College Football Playoff national title game in a week.

Indiana is set to take on Miami in the College Football Playoff national title game on Monday night, January 19.
