Troy’s senior quarterback saw receiver Sam Letton break open in the end zone on the Trojans’ first drive of Saturday night’s 43-14 victory over Campbell.
His throw was too far in front and too low for Letton to grab. The third-down incompletion turned into Tyler Sumpter’s 27-yard field goal on the next play.
It was a blip on an otherwise fine night for Barker, but that’s absolutely who he is. He’s his own worst critic, he is intensely driven to do things the right way and he’s hypercompetitive.
Barker led an offense that gained 527 yards Saturday night.
