How Freeze evaluated Thorne's performance and what it means going forward
For about 55 minutes of Auburn’s game against Oklahoma Saturday, quarterback Payton Thorne looked like the MVP.
When reflecting on Thorne’s performance during his Monday news conference, Freeze gave his quarterback a lot of credit. “It’s hard to say he’s not the starter in these kinds of games,” Freeze said. “I think he gives us the best chance to win as long as he keeps taking care of the football like he did.”
Having clarity at quarterback is much needed for Auburn as it enters a stretch of three Southeastern Conference road games.
