That will teach them to put money before passion...
...game against Holy Cross showed, Barker has yet to prove himself in the one-on-one slot. Twice he was beaten, resulting once in a pass interference call and once in a touchdown.“They were picking on him a little bit early, and we certainly knew that going into the game, but we just sort of wanted to see if we could get a bigger body over there against that receiver,” Berry says of Barker. “Derrick’s an excellent corner, and we expect him to be a strong contributor...
