#Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza became only the second FBS player with 5 passing TDs and a 90% comp. pct vs. an AP ranked opponent in the last 30 years.

Simply put…he was incredible vs. Illinois.

Some final thoughts on Mendoza today.

Inconsistent second half including a bad INT. He was absolute nails on the final TD drive. Took lots of big hits, but his faith in giving his WRs chances in 1-on-1 situations is great. Also showed plenty of mobility.

Luke Grant
This here is exactly why Mendoza isn’t anything like Kirk Cousins as a prospect.

Two free rushers. Scrambles to his left and makes a toughhh off platform through. Genuine athlete.

But the running style is all people see. Kirk isn’t doing this

Inconsistent day for Fernando Mendoza, but he showed up BIG when it mattered. Some impressive throws on that GW drive.

First 9 drives: 131 passing yards, 1 INT
Final drive: 87 passing yards, 1 TD

Mendoza had three big time throws in that first half. Big post to Becker down the field, great out route throw in the red zone and the dropped back pylon pass to Omar Cooper. He’s also using his legs to gain positive yards.

The sidearm throw to Becker when he was on the run was fantastic too

All I've seen of him was the final Indiana drive and that was enough. This kid is for real.

Looks like Jared Goff to me

Field Yates
Fernando Mendoza today:

22-of-24, 299 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT

It’s his third game completing at least 90% of his passes this season, each with 20 or more attempts. Surgical accuracy.
