WEEK 10 STATS: 225 pass yards, 2 Pass TD, 64.5 completion pct.
Barr produced a season-best performance to spearhead the Colonials’ 21-9 non-conference victory over East Tennessee State. The true freshman quarterback completed 64.5 percent of his pass attempts for a career-high 225 yards and two touchdowns. Barr, who logged a season-high 20 completions, played an interception-free game. The 6-foot-4 signal caller sparked a fourth-quarter comeback. With the Colonials facing a 9-7 deficit and fewer than 4:00 remaining, Barr found an open Kyle Buss streaking down the left sideline and connected with his fellow freshman for an 84-yard go-ahead touchdown. Barr was a key culprit on RMU’s first scoring drive of the game, engineering a 65-yard march in the final 1:19 of the opening half. He was 7-of-8 passing on the drive, completing passes to four different receivers and capping it with a 5-yard scoring strike to Craig Thompson.
