Indiana Destroys Oregon in Peach Bowl

The Hoosiers made a statement from the opening snap. Cornerback D’Angelo Ponds intercepted Dante Moore on Oregon’s first play and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown just 11 seconds into the game.

Indiana never looked back. Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza completed 17 of 20 passes for 177 yards and five touchdowns. He threw more touchdown passes than incompletions for the second straight CFP game.

Elijah Sarratt caught two touchdown passes while Charlie Becker hauled in a 36-yarder. Kaelon Black ran for two scores as Indiana’s balanced attack rolled up 362 total yards. The Hoosiers led 35-7 at halftime and cruised from there.

Indiana improved to 3-0 against top-5 opponents this season. The program was 1-72 all-time against top-5 teams before this year. The Hoosiers completed the season sweep of Oregon after beating the Ducks 30-20 in Eugene back in October.

Miami Edges Ole Miss in Fiesta Bowl

The Hurricanes survived a thriller on Thursday night, beating Ole Miss 31-27 in the Fiesta Bowl. Carson Beck scrambled for the game-winning touchdown from 3 yards out with 18 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Beck completed passes for 268 yards while Miami rushed for 191 yards. Mark Fletcher Jr. was physical all night, dragging defenders and wearing down the Rebels’ defense. Trinidad Chambliss threw for 277 yards in the loss.

The win sends Miami to the National Championship for the first time since 2001. The Hurricanes pulled off upsets over defending champion Ohio State and Ole Miss to reach the title game.

National Championship Spread Trends

History favors Indiana in this spot. Favorites have been covering the National Championship spread lately, and the line of Indiana -7.5 continues a recent trend of larger spreads in title games.

Recent National Championship Results

The favorite has covered in each of the last six national championship games. Miami’s home-field advantage at Hard Rock Stadium could help buck that trend.

The Hurricanes have thrived as underdogs all season, going 3-0 straight up when getting points. They knocked off both Ohio State and Texas A&M in the playoffs as betting underdogs. Miami’s comfortable in that role.

Indiana vs Miami Line Analysis

On paper, Miami has the defense and line play to stay within this number. The Hurricanes allow just 14.0 points per game and dominated both Ohio State and Ole Miss in the trenches during their playoff run.

Indiana feels like a team of destiny. The Hoosiers are 15-0 behind Mendoza, who’s been surgical in the playoffs. They outscored opponents by over 9 points per game this season, beat Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl, and throttled Ohio State 13-10 in the Big Ten Championship.

The defense allowed just 10.1 points per game. That’s elite on both sides of the ball for Indiana.

Indiana vs Miami Statistical Matchup

Indiana holds advantages in scoring offense, scoring defense, rushing attack and turnover margin. Miami’s slight edge comes in sacks and passing yards per game. The Hoosiers are more balanced at 210 rush/238 pass compared to Miami’s pass-heavy approach.

Mendoza returns home for the title game. The Miami native will play at Hard Rock Stadium for the first time this season. It’s a full-circle moment for the Heisman winner who left South Florida to build Indiana into a powerhouse.

The Hoosiers don’t have a single five-star recruit on their roster. They’re built on grit and development under Curt Cignetti. That underdog mentality carried them to 15-0 despite being counted out all season.

Miami’s playing at home, and Hard Rock Stadium will be packed with Hurricanes fans. Still, Indiana traveled well all season, with 80% of the Peach Bowl crowd wearing cream and crimson. The home-field edge might not be as big as you’d think.

We’re passing on the Indiana vs Miami spread at more than a touchdown. We’ll wait to see props and team totals once they’re released.
