The picture above is a screen shot of the Northern Illinois Huskies football website home screen. Let's just say they want you to vote Lynch for Heisman. Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch (6-0 216 Jr) is a dual threat with gaudy numbers this year and has accumulated a nice highlight reel, but he is still virtually an unknown in the overall landscape of college football this season.
NIU coach Dave Doeren spoke on Lynch going unnoticed before they played UMass week 11, "His (Jordan Lynch) desire to get into the end zone when he runs, the way he finishes runs, the way he's throwing the football right now. He's No. 1 in the country in total offense, No. 2 in the country in rushing yards. He broke the NCAA record for most 100-yard games by a quarterback with seven this week. He continues week in and week out to lead us, not only from a yardage standpoint, but the way that he plays the game of football I think deserves notoriety. Whether he gets into the conversations at the end of the year or not, I think he's worthy of those conversations for awards. I don't know how you have six touchdowns, and you're not the MAC player of the week. I don't get that one..."
Lynch is an entertaining player to watch and has impressive numbers for the year. He barrels over defender as a runner (see Akron defender on video below) and is still a threat with his arm. Lynch passed for 407 yards while rushing for 162 yards in Northern Illinois' last game against Toledo. However, the star Huskies QB probably needs a bigger stage before he can make a debut in New York.
