You do just have to love this guy. He is the target and symbol for so much hatred people have toward the "little guy", and he doesn't fold under the pressure. The way he handled all the pressure of the Heisman campaign and the world coming down on him for NIU's BCS selection is just remarkable. I know Id never be able to handle all that. I don't care if this season ends up 9-3 or 3-9, we really have cherish every snap this guy takes this year.

Wow, the USA Today has really shown NIU and Lynch a lot of love the past year....nice

I have to imagine its very difficult to dislike this kid (from the outside looking in). He has been as awesome off the field as he has on the field. He has dealt with the media with great poise and maturity. He is a hard worker and a great teammate. This kid is special, and this should be a great farewell tour.

Fantastic article.
