Is Hugh Freeze pumping the brakes on Auburn's two-QB approach after Saturday's showing on the west coast?
He then went on to say that if the Tigers get to 2-0 using two quarterbacks, he might still keep at it.
Since being named Auburn’s starter in mid-August, junior Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne has done just that as he started first against UMass and then again Saturday night against Cal. Even after Thorne hit Jay Fair for on a 13-yard touchdown pass in early in the second quarter, it still felt as though the Tigers’ offense was flat as a board. There was no spark, let alone fireworks.On Saturday night in the hills of Berkeley, Calif., the hope was sophomore quarterback Robby Ashford could be what the Tigers were looking for.
“I’m not making any excuses because we have to own what’s on the film. But when you turn it over four times and you don’t get a lot of possessions in a game, it’s hard,” Freeze said— even when the Tigers completely abandoned the pass game in the third quarter, not throwing a single pass.Thorne was advertised as a guy who completed more than 60% of his passes and averaged more than 220 passing yards a game at Michigan State.
