Bc I'm wrong lol. The guy that couldn't explain his stance other than "against other teams that's picked" when that type of play in the red zone has got us points multiple times.

Thorne has thrown into double and triple coverage several times tonight.  And you’re somehow trying to argue that’s a high percentage play.  It’s not.  And you’re not going to convince anyone it is.  Sorry.

Thorne TD run.

GOD ESPN PLUS SUCKS. Thank you PT.

Our run blocking is garbage

[Never2Yield 1,005]

TD RUN THORNE!!!

[AUBwins 10,148]

Woohoo!!

[JDUBB4AU 5,138]

I thought Thorne had experience as a Qb. I hope this play calling is smoke and mirrors 

[DAG 34,086]

Should be 21-0 but I am going to let it go..hehe

[AUTigergrad08 617]

Much better decision making there by Thorne.  Love that he finally didn’t try to force it.

Just a quick assessment, I am shocked that coaching is our biggest downfall so far this season.

Nice TD!  I’ll take it.

Gus 2.0

Look I dont want to pile on - let me just say, those that remember Daniel "all or nothing" Cobb - thats what we're seeing in Thorne so far. Fwiw Daniel was an absolute hero or an absolute goat virtually every game. He had the tools but something frequentky failed to click. 

[DAG 34,086]

Looks like we are gaining some confidence. Keep it up.

Thorne is decent. Just some bad decisions

x1000 - some of his throws and ball placement are actually pretty good.  He's making funny decisions sometimes.  Seems a bit lost and uncomfortable.  Hoping he gels with his targets and gets more in rhythm.

Controversial, but O-line is not as improved as I'd hoped.  Not blowing people off the ball in the run game, at least.

Coaching isn't the reason for 2 INT

[AUBwins 10,148]

Really think the plan is just play Thorne the full 1st half.  I'm sure they were hoping to be leading by a bit more

[IronMan70 3,277]

Who is calling these plays ? 2 JH runs in the teeth of a stacked DL, come on. Thorne runs it in next play.

TOUCHDOWN AUBURN !!!!!!!

Nah they will be ready. Book it. Keep on mind there were some injuries last week. Probably letting some of the new guys get some time

I’m really worried about the WR being able to get open against Aggie. I also do not like any of QB’s against the 12 Man. The defense doesn’t really worry me.

[DAG 34,086]

College football is so bizarre...now Florida is whooping Tennessee's ass.

[CCTAU 3,363]

Thorne is scrappy. I just think he needs to stop just going for broke and take the underneath routes more. That is an issue with a lot of QBs though.

I want to see a lot more Alston & Cobb at RB. Both have more shake & bake + quicker taking off.
