The College Football History of Indiana Hoosiers Book

DEEP into the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers clung to a fragile 27 – 21 lead. Every snap, every tackle, every second carried the weight of a season. After decades without a national title, it had to be today. Miami drove down the field with under two minutes to play … but Carson Beck’s pass was picked off with 44 seconds left! The whistle blows — Indiana have done it! The Hoosiers are National Champions for the first time in program history!
