You HAVE to make a change at qb if you're Hugh Freeze. Thorne can't do it. He's gone after this year. Holden is gone too. It's Hank, Walker, whoever you get as qb for the 25 class, and whoever you get in the portal.
I get what Coach is saying about guys playing great in practice but crap in games, BUT…in my high school years we had players that really weren’t “practice players” and showed OUT in games. I mean went balls out at game time. At the same time, this is Auburn. We don’t need anyone at the key positions like QB that isn’t a probable NFL talent. And Thorne is so very much not an NFL talent. Even at MSU he wasn’t an NFL talent, just got saved by having NFL talent around him. Dude’s a dud. Let’s please move on and get Hank and White some real time experience and snaps.
Yeah. I think he's worried that kids will think it's not fair that a guy who doesn't practice well gets the start. However, the kids need to be asked "would you rather lose on Saturday?"
No one believes for a single second that Hank doesn't under stand the offense. Our offense isn't very sophisticated at all. You gave PT a bunch of easy reads and he just can't execute under the lights.
Watch Aaron Murray's analysis (former UGA and NFL QB). He broke down Thorne's film against Cal. Thorne holds the ball too long. Murray kept yelling "THROW THE DAMN BALL NOW." Thorne does not throw it when the WR makes his cut, but waits and waits until the DB catches up.
What games against good SEC opponents did PT play well against? Defense kept us in the games against the top teams and we may have beat those teams if we even had average QB play. He can’t read a blitz. Thats obvious. So what does Hugh do? Go with a very run heavy (70/30) and play action off it?
Here’s the thing with Brock Glenn, Louisville, FSU being left out, and that whole situation… Louisville was the #22nd ranked defense in the nation. They were a salty team. They were a good defense. That was a tough start!
AU isn't quite in that position. No one wants Hugh gone right now. It's only his 2nd season and he inherited the worst AU roster in 50 years. It is Billy's 4th year and he has no excuses at this point.
4th quarter of the maryland game Hank Brown comes in and throws for more yards on 1 drive than PT and HG COMBINED THE WHOLE GAME
Exactly make the switch
PT has almost ZERO live fire practice time. It is the Live fire decision making that PT lacks. HB makes better decision in live fire situations
Please give it to Hank. He can't do any worse than Payton. Thorn is a great practice QB. He simply cannot handle in-game pressure.
Maybe Freeze should become a practice coach in high school. Thorne will get his job. No one keeps score at practice in wins

Short answer is yes it'd time

Unfortunately PT will probably play well against New Mexico and it’ll give Hugh more confidence in him to ride him longer into the season.
Hank gives you the best chance of winning if he gets the right support
Here’s the thing with Brock Glenn, Louisville, FSU being left out, and that whole situation…
Louisville was the #22nd ranked defense in the nation. They were a salty team. They were a good defense.
That was a tough start!
Hugh Freeze your embarrassing yourself, the entire team, and UNIVERSITY SHAME ON YOU. Hurting my goddamn feelings man driving home sad as hell
That’s all well and good,but he is not playing well in games.
It’s currently happening at Florida. They gotta start DJ. Otherwise billy is gone
AU isn't quite in that position. No one wants Hugh gone right now. It's only his 2nd season and he inherited the worst AU roster in 50 years. It is Billy's 4th year and he has no excuses at this point.
The problem with FSU is they can't run the ball and stop the run.
Auburn currently has one of the absolutely worst performing QB's on Saturday's. Put him on the bench!
Bo Jackson, turn the lights on and he was Bo Jackson, but it was written that he was not Bo in practice
Auburn deserves this for being goobers
Enough of the shit shows already
Fire Hugh freeze
Typical Auburn. Cheer up Auburn fans. Your team is due for a national championship around 2060. 😊
