Bryant was only absent for one drive, in which he was replaced by redshirt-freshman Zerrick Cooper, who ran once for no yards and competed 1 of 2 passes for 4 yards.
Bryant came back on the ensuing drive, completing 6 of 9 passes for 79 yards. He also added 6 yards on the ground and drove in the go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining in the half.
Looks like the injury may have woken him up.
