Keyone Jenkins entered for the final play and took a sack, sealing the Panthers’ 12-7 win at Acrisure Stadium. Jenkins is in line to start against Georgia State at 7 p.m. Sept. 19.

Barnett completed 63.3% of his passes the first two weeks, throwing for 344 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
