Lynch at Last

One year ago Jordan Lynch came up just short in his bid for the jasathletics College Football MVP award to John Manziel. This year he found himself in another tight battle as Derek Carr of Fresno State put up some passing numbers that could not be overlooked. In the end though, jasathletics could not deny Lynch twice. In turn, jasathletics would like to proudly announce Jordan Lynch, QB from Northern Illinois, as its 2013-2014 College Football MVP.

Lynch's passing numbers were not bad (2,676 yds, 23 TDs, 7 INT), but he won this award with his legs as he amassed 1,881 yds and 22 TDs on the ground. Theses totals are great, but what really clinched this award for him were some individual games. In particular, going over 300 yds rushing against Central Michigan and Western Michigan, passing for 275 yds and 3 TDs in a win against a solid Iowa team in Iowa City, and going 26 out of 32 through the air for 345 yds and 2 TDs and rushing for 123 yds and 2 TDs against a stout Ball State team. Although he wasn't able to bring home the Heisman Trophy, Jordan Lynch can rest assured knowing that, after having it elude him a year ago, the jasathletics College Football MVP award is finally his. Indeed, this year, it was Lynch at last.
