Week in and week out redshirt senior quarterback Jordan Lynch seems to set a new record or a new career high.

It was no different for Lynch in the Huskies’ Saturday 63-19 thrashing over Massachusetts in Foxboro. Two weeks after setting an NCAA record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback with 316, he went back to work on the ground.

Thanks to holes opened up by the offensive line accompanied with his great vision, Lynch rushed for four touchdowns, a new career high. Three of Lynch’s touchdowns came in the first quarter alone.

He scored on the Huskies’ first three possessions in the first quarter as he rushed into the end zone for a 6-yard score, a 25-yard touchdown and scrambled right up the middle for a 19-yard strike.

“It is not something you see a lot, but I feel I have seen it happen before,” said coach Rod Carey in a news conference. “With the way Jordan played against Central Michigan two weeks ago where he had over 300 yards rushing and a couple touchdowns I have seen performances like this before. Jordan is a special type of player, and the team around him has helped us accomplish feats like this one.”

Lynch scored his fourth and final rushing touchdown of the day on an 11-yard run with 10:21 left in the third quarter. That was the end of the day for the hopeful Heisman candidate as the Huskies led the Minutemen 49-13.

“Jordan Lynch is the best player that we have played all season because he makes it all go,” said UMass coach Charley Molnar in a news conference. “There has not been another player who the offense is so dependent on.”

On the day, Lynch ran the ball 17 times for 119 yards, averaging 7 yards per carry. This was Lynch’s 18th career game with 100 rushing yards or more.

“He should be in the conversation for a Heisman candidate, and that football team should be in the conversation for a BCS Bowl game,” Molnar said in a news conference. “And I root for them because I think that is a great football team that deserves a shot to be in the BCS.”
