I've followed MAC football since 1985. Not sure Jordan Lynch is one of the top 40 QBs during that time span.Jason Whitlock
NIU returns entire OL, backfield and Lynch. Need to replace Martel Moore and SRs on defense, but Huskies will be dynamite next fall.Paul Myerberg

Please, just let it end. #OrangeBowlDan McCaleb

Thank you 2012 Huskies for the memories.. Proud alumChandler Harnish
NIU coach says Lynch did not make the comments attributed to him. Hmm. Interesting.TomahawkNation.com
Asked Rod Carey what the next step is for NIU's program. "That's not a good time to ask that question," he quips. Alright then.JJ Stankevitz
Much different tune from NIU now...Patrik Nohe/M_Herald
Carey says Lynch quotes twisted by "some guy trying to sell papers." @SIPeteThamel: "He knows Sporting News doesn't print papers, right?"Holly Anderson
Hand it to Rod Carey: He has the press conference grumpiness of a coach with ten times his seasoning.Holly Anderson
Tough game, but the #HuskieNation was strong in numbers! Thanks for the support! #NIUFootballRyan Diem
Carey is being downright surly. Shooting down questions, talking down to reporters. Not showing much composure in post-game presser.Dieter Kurtenbach
#NIU players were just in the news conference room. In order to get back to their locker room, have to walk past #FSU's. Ouch.Coley Harvey
