The talk from the beat guys has always been that he throws the prettiest ball but struggles when theres a live pass rush coming after him. After watching Thorne look totally rattled Sat I wonder if the coaches feel the same?

Spot on analysis

If the game plan continues to be a 2-1 or 3-1 run/pass ratio its gonna be a long season. Besides handcuffing this years offense, current and future WRs and QB recruits are going to believe what their eyes tell them is being put on the field. Id rather struggle attempting to open things up than try to grind out boring wins(which wont work anyway).

This game showed exactly why last week they shouldve turned Thorne loose and threw the damn ball before going on the road. He looked scared to death tonight. After playing at Mich St I didnt expect him to look so ovwerwhelmed. And Id be happy if Alston was RB1 over Hunter. The talk on Alston being much improved looks legit.

And Rhule got a HUGE deal

17-14 A&M. Huge home game for the Canes and there most be 20000 empty seats. Some things never change.

I thought Thorne needed 30 attempts minimum to get work with the new receivers in game action. I feel sure Freeze will open it up but AUs headed to a stadium cross country with more questions than answers in the passing game.

Against what looks like a strong defensive front 6-7, yes. At this point I dont think were close to being able to do what FSU is doing to them.

I wouldve really liked to have seen the ball in the air more today. Going on the road for a 9 PM game, I think there are still big questions in that part of the offense. I may have missed it did Fairweather have a pass thrown his way today?

His accuracy is really good. FIrst time Ive seen him play and Im very impressed.

Sanders and his staff have done a great job. Putting so many new pieces together is really impressive.

Theyve stayed at Grand National in opelika the past several seasons. Its not far and is pretty isolated from the craziness.

Spectrum knows their bundle is history when ESPN goes Direct to Consumer. Iger has made it clear that day is fast approaching.

Under Armour is on life support, who knows if theyll have the money to pay as theyve already proven. Bruce and Freeze are fantastic recruiters, but going with Nike would do nothing but make things easier for them. The money involved should be secondary to the impact of the provider in helping to acquire talent.

This offensive futility is all too familiar

Napier not inspiring a lot of confidence from the Gator boosters tonight.

I think Freeze knows he’ll lose Ashford if he criticizes him publicly. Where another player may react positively to being called out, I dont see Ashford as that type of personality.

Worst seats in the house at a premium price.

Offense- Thorne. Can he be SEC average or better? Things will go downhill quick if not. Defense- Mcleod on the edge. We havnt had speed off the edge in years. Is he the answer? ST- McPherson Bonus- Hugh Freeze. Hes waited for years to return to the big time. Can he make the much needed new pieces fit? Can he scheme around the deficiencies that remain? Can he bring the AU offense into the 21st century and show QBs and WRs this is the school to come to now?

How can anyone argue with what Harbaugh is saying? Treating the players as partners is the obvious long term answer to the current NIL system. The boosters will tire of paying at some point and the TV money( because fans want to see the players play) will be there to fill the void.

Finally, a coach that realizes throwing the football is actually a good thing. I havnt been this excited about AU football in a LONG time.

Hate it for Bruce. Tate said he has been on this guy for 20 months.

Thats freakin awesome

Someone enlighten their ace reporter that Duke partnered with Nike to pay Zion 400k to attend their sacred instituition.

Its almost like theres a plan here
