The 2025 Natl Championship Team Film Room

[MartintheMopMan]

We've all consumed a lot of IUFB content about this team over the last year. Any really stick out? Player and coach interviews (from this year or before), highlights, stories, podcasts, or any other media welcomed! I just want a central thread to look at to find this stuff (and also for you to feed me great content because I'm a content monster).

I'll start us off with some pre-success Fernando:

If you haven't seen our adorable boy when he was an adorable boy yet, what are you even doing?

I watched this Pac-12 (RIP) day in the life video of his a few times during playoffs because I always knew one of the underrated strengths about our team is how unshakable and dedicated Fernando is. Watching the Coach's Filmroom of the game last night my daughter and I talked about how you could see a difference between Fernando post-sack (and post-roughly-targeting-the-passer) and Beck post-sack. Fernando extracts the football lesson from the play then erases the rest while even just one sack gets inside of Beck's head the rest of the game. The mental portion that distinguishes a sack as worse than a run-for-loss just isn't there for Menzy. Anyway, you can feel that about him here:

Now that I've stolen the easy ones, whatchugot?

I’m not sure if this fits, but the tackle Aidan Fisher made on Toney the play immediately preceding the blocked punt was special. Dropped back in coverage and dove at him to prevent the first down.

I recorded the Mendoza touchdown from my seat. Dm me your number if you want me to share it
