Despite a poor passing game, Mendoza had a pair of strong rushing performances against Purdue, accounting for 2 carries, 27 rushing yards, and a touchdown. On a read-option play with inside/split zone action, he read the block well, stayed wide, and used his speed to outrun the linebacker untouched into the end zone. Later, he made a move to avoid a pass-rusher and ran 20 yards down the middle of the defense for a play that put the offense in the red zone. The source notes that working off or setting up blocks is one of his biggest strengths as a runner.
