Quote:Jordan Lynch's reputation growing
It's become clichéd to refer to Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch as unheralded or even a sleeper Heisman Trophy candidate. We all know that quarterbacks from the Mid-American Conference don't win the Heisman, but Lynch's numbers certainly suggest that he should be considered.
Jordan Lynch has impressed Arkansas coach Bret Bielema, who says Lynch would be among the best QBs in the SEC.
And having talked to a few coaches who've faced him, there's no question in their minds that Lynch would measure up favorably in any conference. First-year Arkansas coach Bret Bielema went up against Lynch two years ago when Bielema was coaching at Wisconsin and said Lynch would unquestionably be one of the better quarterbacks in the SEC this season. That's saying something, too, because this has been one of the best years ever across the board for quarterback play in the SEC, especially when everybody was healthy. Bielema has a ton of respect for South Carolina's Connor Shaw, especially after the way Shaw carved the Hogs apart a few weeks ago, but Bielema thinks Lynch is faster than Shaw and a better passer. The 6-foot, 215-pound Lynch might not have prototypical NFL size, but he's the kind of player who will impress once he gets into camp.
He has a chance to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,500 yards for a second straight season, and if he gets there, I'm not sure we'll see anybody in the FBS ranks do that again anytime soon.

We used to run a " Lynch Package" when Harnish was QB, which consisted of mostly QB draws.

I think BB just did his bud Frazier a solid.
Frazier has shown how few athletic friends Jiff had.
