Barnum led the Vikings to a 24–17 upset over the Washington State Cougars at Martin Stadium in Pullman, WA on September 5, 2015 for his first career victory as head coach.[2] On October 10 Portland State defeated North Texas 66–7, giving Barnum and the Vikings their second victory over an FBS school in 2015.
