Freeze broke down Payton Thorne's performance and outlook of the quarterback room during his Monday press conference
Peter Rauterkus | prauterkus@al.com“Could it? Yes,” Freeze said when asked if the starter could change before Saturday.When initially asked about a potential change, Freeze said that it’s “really hard for me to not play a young man that consistently is the best performer in practice.” Despite that, he mentioned that the good play has to translate to games.
Saturday wasn’t Thorne’s first poor performance for Auburn either since joining the program and becoming the starter at the beginning of last season. “There were some really good calls made in that game. And we had people running wide open,” Freeze said. “Payton missed three of those that I think changed the game in the first half.”“Hank will definitely get his share of reps this week, for sure,” Freeze said Monday.
His only gametime last season came in Auburn’s Music City Bowl loss to Maryland where he was 7-of-9 passing for 132 yards. He saw action late in Auburn’s 73-3 season-opening win against Alabama A&M, throwing two touchdown passes on 3-of-5 passing for 96 yards.
