         A.J. McCarron from Alabama has been one of the most dominant quarterbacks in college football. He has won the past two national championships. On the season McCarron completed 207 passes on 306 attempts. He threw for 2676 yard on the season. He averaged 8.75 yards per pass and had a 67.6 completion percentage.

         Jordan Lynch from Northern Illinois was one of the main surprises this year in college football. Lynch completed 233 passes on 369 attempts this year. He threw for 2676 yards, averaging a 63.1 completion percentage. He threw for 7.25 yards per throw. His longest throw of the season was 66 yards. Jordan had 23 touchdown and seven interceptions on the year with a QB rating of 140.8. He didn’t just pass the ball; he was also one of the best rushing QB in college football. He rushed for 22 touchdowns on the year for a total of 1881 yards. He doesn’t have the best chance to win the Heisman with all of the other athletes in the finals, but you can never count Jordan Lynch out because he has proven people wrong before.
