Impact Barnes has shown marked improvement week after week, and he displayed his best performance yet by keeping pace with an explosive USC offense. His defense was key in pulling off a victory, but Barnes gave newfound balance to an offense that is known for its run game. Behind Sione Vaki and a healthy Ja'Quinden Jackson, Barnes was allowed to open up the playbook and get vertical. That resulted in three passing touchdowns for the Utes. It's looking more and more likely that Cameron Rising will redshirt the season, meaning Barnes should finish out the season as the top QB on the depth chart.
