Tight end featured in multiple play examples illustrating Mendoza's decision-making under pressure. On one bootleg play, Mendoza forced a throw to Sarratt who was double covered on a pylon route with safety help, resulting in an incomplete pass and third-and-long situation when Omar Cooper Jr. was wide open. On another play, Sarratt was Mendoza's initial read on an out route against Cover 3, but Mendoza correctly recognized the safety rotating down into the curl-to-flat zone made it risky and came off to find the tight end on a sit/curl route over the center instead, moving the sticks and putting the offense in scoring position.NegativeRoleJul 30, 2026

On another play, Mendoza initially looked to Sarratt on an out route but recognized pressure and came off the read to find Sarratt on a sit/curl route over the center, a great processing decision that moved the sticks and put the offense in scoring position. Also featured on a deep shot read where Mendoza worked off coverage to attack the same route on the short side of the field.PositiveRoleJul 28, 2026
Sarratt caught a third-and-short touchdown pass from Mendoza in the Rose Bowl. The source describes a play where Indiana used heavy personnel with an extra offensive lineman and max protection, setting up a one-on-one matchup for Sarratt against a corner with no safety help at the bottom of the screen. Mendoza immediately took his eyes to that matchup, and once Sarratt got even with the corner, Mendoza let the ball go with a beautiful pass featuring great trajectory—high but still catchable. The source notes: 'It's hard to find a pass to a go route into the end zone that is placed any better than that.'PositiveProjectionJul 27, 2026
Sarratt was the target on a designed roll-out early in the Big Ten Championship where Mendoza delivered a strike on the run right before taking a huge hit. On the play, Mendoza found Sarratt open on a drag route after a pair of defenders collided, hitting him with a perfect ball in front and in stride for a nine-yard gain. This highlighted Mendoza's toughness to throw under pressure and ability to maintain accuracy without a stable base.
