Indiana quarterback and Heisman hopeful Fernando Mendoza took a safety as the clock hit zero during the Hoosiers' 20-15 win over Iowa Saturday. The two points for the Hawkeyes didn't matter in the outcome of the game, but it may have caused some rooting for IU to cover specific spreads a brutal loss.
The Hoosiers were at their own 40-yard line with three seconds left on fourth down and just needed the clock to hit zero to officially escape with the win. Once the ball was snapped, Mendoza sprinted to his own end zone and went down once he hit the black turf, giving Iowa two points to end the game.
