(Miami) — Indiana turned in its final practice Saturday, as the Hoosiers fine tune preparations for Monday night’s College Football Playoff national championship game with Miami.

Curt Cignetti led his team through a workout at Florida International University, and in his mind, preparation has been the reason the Hoosiers are undefeated.

‘We’re here because we prepared the right way and we have the right people in the staff and in the locker room,” Cignetti told the media. “We have a plan and a process, and we have great leadership and good players, and we’ve been very consistent in terms of our play in all three phases, so we’ve met every challenge.”

There’s one more challenge before Indiana…a Miami team playing on its home field Monday night.

“You stay focused on the here and now, control the controllables, be detailed in your preparation,” mentions Cignetti. “That gives you the most confidence going in, gives you the best chance. Because we have so many guys on this team that are older and have started so many games, the moment has never been too big.”

A win on Monday would not only give the Hoosiers their first football national championship, it would mean Indiana would be the most recent unbeaten team in both college football and men’s college basketball.

To do that, Indiana will have to win a key matchup between the Hoosiers’ offensive line and Miami’s defensive line.

“They’re great players, both ends, all the inside guys, they play a lot of people,” notes Cignetti. “And I know how (defensive coordinator) Corey (Hetherman) coaches. Schematically it might be a little bit different, but I know the philosophy is not much different. He’s got them creating havoc, TFLs, sacks, stop the run, playing with an edge, nasty edge.”

The star of that defensive line is defensive end Reuben Bain, Jr., who is relishing the chance to play the championship game in front of the home fans.

“This is a stadium we’ve all grinded in,” says Bain, who grew up in Miami. “We ran the stairs and we literally shed tears, sweat, blood, all that good stuff. It means a lot, being able to have this opportunity to come home and do what we do, This is something the city [has] been needing for a long time. Just walking throughout Miami now, I can’t go anywhere without somebody saying, ‘Go Canes,’ just talking about bringing it home and getting it done.

“You can tell the pride the city [has] within this University and this program, so getting it done is all that matters.”

Monday night’s national championship game on ESPN is set for kickoff at 7:30 p.m.
