Bryson Barnes heard the critics, and silenced the doubters Thursday night.
The walk-on quarterback who got the start in Utah's season opener against Florida called his shot and aired it out on the first pass of the game for the Utes. Barnes' pass seemed to stay in the air for several seconds before it landed perfectly into Money Parks' hands, and the receiver did the rest for a 70-yard touchdown.
The one-time pig farmer even managed a 5-yard rushing touchdown early in the second half to sour Florida's chances of a comeback. Florida quarterback Graham Mertz was uncomfortable in the pocket for much of the night as Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley dialed up the pressure and collapsed the pocked time and again. Utah collected five sacks and held Florida to 3 points until Mertz found Douglas with a 19-yard touchdown reception with 9:22 remaining.
