Bryson Barnes News: Struggles in passing game

Barnes completed 9 of 21 passes for 116 yards and one interception during Monday's 34-21 defeat versus Washington State. He also had 13 rushes for seven yards with one touchdown.

For a second straight game, Barnes logged a sub-50.0 completion percentage, which resulted in Jacob Conover stepping in under center during the bowl game. Despite lackluster form to end Barnes' career, 2025 is still his best year yet, backed up by 3,550 total yards and 29 touchdowns as Utah State's primary quarterback for most of the season.
