With the offense coming out in a three-by-one formation, it seems pretty clear that the defense's primary concern is stopping Sarratt as the single receiver. Post-snap, Mendoza sees the safety open toward the sideline to bracket Sarratt and snaps his head around to Becker.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mendoza executed complex three-by-one reads in championship-clinching drive.

Mendoza operated in three-by-one formation in critical Big Ten Championship moment, reading defensive alignment (Cover 0 with middle linebacker blitzing and edge defenders dropping into low holes) and executing post-snap progression by identifying safety bracket on Sarratt, then pivoting to Becker on opposite side; demonstrated command of offensive scheme and ability to execute in high-pressure playoff-caliber game.
