WATCH: Bryson Barnes torches Florida's defense on first pass of the season

The backup quarterback silenced the doubters on the first play

After the defense shut down the Gators on their first drive of the game, the Utah Utes' offense led by former walk-on Bryson Barnes had a chance to take a lead.

Barnes is filling in for Cam Rising who is out with a knee injury, and to say Barnes entered the game with a bang would be an understatement. He unloaded an absolute bomb of a throw to Money Parks who took it 70-yards for a touchdown.

The big play gives the Utes a 7-0 lead, and Rice-Eccles Stadium and the city of Salt Lake City appears to be buzzing.
