MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – When Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch tucked the ball in and ran, he had Florida State defenders everywhere around him.

When he dropped back, he had no time. Lynch and Huskies' offense had trouble getting anything going Tuesday night in the Orange Bowl at Sun Life Stadium. It was certainly one of the main factors which cost NIU in 31-10 loss to Florida State on Tuesday.

While Lynch couldn't find anywhere to go for the Huskies (12-2), Florida State (12-2) quarterback E.J. Manuel often seemed to have all the time in the world.
