Shows flashes in first start Barker was 5-for-10 passing for 58 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 45-21 defeat versus Memphis. He also had nine rushes for 37 yards.

Impact Barker led back-to-back scoring drives to start the game Saturday, but then split the rest of the game with Landry Lyddy and Trace Campell and did not play as well and threw a pick-six in the second quarter.
