So many missed tackles and bad angles on D. They look sloppy

Wasted possession

Clearly an int.

D is gonna have to be better period.

I actually don’t think it’s a wake up call benching for Thorne, I just think Hugh feels he needs to do something. As far as “waking ” Thorne up, I mean he is what he is. He threw a lot of picks last year too. He is just a super average to below average QB in general.

I definitely fall on the Cam Ward side of things but I think there were others that would be better than what we got.

That’s literally what it’s earmarked for.

What a mess, would have been much easier for Hugh to have brought in a portal QB instead of hyping Thorne up all offseason and saying all he really needed was better WR’s. He’s just proving literally everyone right about Thorne not having a what it takes.

We better make a bowl, would be a terrible look on Hugh.Its not much to ask these days with all these crappy bowls out there to at least be in one.

I’m not surprised sadly

Apparently an excellent recruiter yes Offensive mastermind no

Yep I fully expect Hugh to keep trotting Thorne out there. He’s hyped him up all off season.

Apples and oranges. Just because one guy struggled with another team doesn’t mean he would have the same performance if he was here. We need a new QB and everyone knew that and we didn’t get it done. These are the results and Hugh will have to navigate through his decision.

Good call on not needing a transfer QB. Super smart.

Pro Pro tip: you can take a helicopter down to the bottom and have a picnic lunch all set up for ya. If ya wanna really impress a gal and all, it works lol.

Win-win for all. Glad to see the tradition of us helping fellow State institutions keep going. The Updykes look like idiots with their refusal to play the smaller in-state schools.

Great post, thanks.

Hard for me to use the word quit when the person has walked away with a degree from AU lol.

Oh for sure. I would imagine validation as well. AU eats our own as worse as any for a so called “family” lol.

So glad to see this and to see him succeed.

I mean, isn’t that an obvious photoshop pic? And not a very good one at that.

Need a 4th guard badly imo.

I think it will still be what it is, a scrimmage, either way. We’ve got 14 practices, I doubt Hugh would be putting in an actual gameplan and all. As someone else said, first time a player who is gonna be counted on for meaningful snaps goes down during a completely meaningless scrimmage the fanbase will come unglued. Bring in a small fcs or HCBU, pay’’em a little $$, let their players experience a stadium like JHS. Let our guys bang on someone not wearing a AU uniform and call it a day. It can be win-win for all.

I don’t think AU traveling is what Freeze had in mind. It’s still just a glorified scrimmage at best and many years it even isn’t that good. I’d lean more towards the UT-Chattanooga, Jax State, or a HBCU route. Anything to make it a little more interesting for fans while making it pretty hassle free for AU. Would have to be win/win for all parties involved.
