First time of paid attention to Zach's whole body and not just his face in quite a while. This man is making progress. Looking good brother!
One thing that really concerns me about the defense is just a question. Does anyone know if Durkin normally teaches his defensive backs to turn and find the ball? It kills me when a defender will not turn to find the ball.
I heard they were doing a good job of that during practice but didn't really see it during the spring game. I guess ~ don't always believe what the analysis's are telling you...?
@@clocktowerhill8760 thanks
I sat in the end zone and watched our kicker Towns McGough (if I misspelled the name My Bad)! That guy has a leg that’s comparable to Jason Elam. He was nailing 60+ yard field goals and he had yards to spare on almost every one. The few that he missed weren’t not good because he left em short. He kicked a ball that I could’ve caught but it was whistling so loud that I was scared to get under it. I was extremely impressed. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
As a Bronco fan that name Jason Elam brings a smile to my face that guy was one bad dude that gets over looked sometimes because he was a kicker on a team with Elway Sharp Davis Mchaffery Rod Smith Bill Romanowski Steve Atwater etc etc lol
@@milanphillips7492 I was Hawaii while he played for the Bows! In 1991.he nailed a 57 yarder against BYU. That ball cleared the crossbar by at least 10 feet. He’s the best I’ve ever seen in person.
I think the secondary looked solid... defense was solid.
Running game was a D+
Qbs was a D
WRs besides Coleman and Brown was C-
Oline needs to step up after we have been told we have no D line..seems we do.
Most people say McPherson is going pro after this year so towns only has to wait 1 year.
Defense looked good, offense meh, kicker solid. Let’s not pump sunshine just yet
Eeeyup. Advance Auto Parts is always nice in the fall.
Can we hire some announcers who actually tell you who is making the plays? I listened on the radio cause I was traveling and watched it later that night. Not impressed with our announcers.
Ok someone is lying. The todays show outline says passing game looked bettter but most comments are saying thorne isnt the guy. So which is it
Thorne was 9-13 133 yards 1 TD. He looked much better than the others. Hank had one good throw and looked really bad the rest of the time.
HB was 5-12 for 103 yards with the longest and best throw of the day against a 5th year graduate transfer that should look like an NFL veteran compared to a redshirt freshman with 5 minutes of experience in one bowl game,
but he didn't, he was marginally better...
it's hilarious hyperbole to say "much better"...no he wasn't and yet he should be.
@@autkand he still can’t set the Blitz pickup
@@Prince__Major agreed it's so obvious Prince....he won't ever get that he's a 5th year graduate senior..wait till it's live bullets in the SEC, same old story is ahead with him.
@@gamingdreams2142 ur another thorne apologists I see
For the amount of time on the field the players had with a running clock and lot of rotation that went on i feel good about the team yes there is areas of improvement but for 15 practices and 10min clocks that were for like 5mins per quarter to truly run plays i like where we are early, the ones who are crying saying we havent made progress your definitely dumb as a sack of bricks. We're gonna be ok.
If we can get Thorne to just manage the offense and not turn the ball over, we will be okay.
Where is McPherson? I'm definitely impressed with the freshman kicker but McPherson is still perfect on his kicks.
Kicker looked good. Peyton looked the same as last year. Need someone else to step up because Cam can’t do it all.
I just saw nc state scrimmage 🤦🏽♂️ why ? ….. somebody please tell me why?!?!!!!!!! We didn’t go after Grayson Mcall 😢
Peyton Thorne got most of the QB nil money and I'm sure Hugh freeze made some promises... that's the only logical reason I can think of
@@rynebozzell i heard that too..I just have a hard time believing Peyton Thorne was our best available option with nil being a thing
We did not when he was available in the 23 December portal, we tried before PT ever got to Auburn and we didn't have his major...then after the Bama game he was available and we blinked...bad decision
@@autk I said in January we should've brought in that liberty QB could've also gotten that liberty wr..let Peyton Thorne and Holden walk...play the liberty QB and deal with the lumps until white is ready...
@@MrKeydeveiousi we had many opportunities and many choices and we said no we're keeping him and getting better pieces around him..then the MCB happened...and then after that "QB is wide open"...then on day 2 of spring practice... nothing has happened..."his to lose" and before A Day he's it "going in to fall camp"
It's going to take a bad loss in season before we pivot if ever.
At this point Thorn is what he is, but I think he can be good enough to manage games and allow us to go 8-4 then move on to greener pastures with Walker White.
I agree that's a reasonable assessment
I sincerely hope Camden Brown has finally put it together.
The surpise was the defense. I feel really good about the defense this year.
Thorne needs to go. Hank all day.
What? What did you watch? I was at A day and Thorne looked great.
"Thorne looked great"
In no universe of reality
@@johnhines623exactly. This people don’t want Thorne to succeed, they just want him to fail
I was at A day and all the qbs look suspect throwing balls behind receivers hank had cam wide open on a post and just threw it behind cam by 2 yards so I don’t know wat upside u seen.. but I’m worried cause all our qbs are a ?
@johnhines623 under thrown balls? Running when he doesn't have to in a practice game. Receivers bailing him out of bad throws? 2024 hasn't started yet and he's already running from ghosts. This is a FIFTH year senior.
Yall can continue to defend Peyton mid, but I want the young guys. At least they have an excuse to play poorly. Thorne has no excuse.
Pt as advertised is garbage still but “seniority” will let him get the start and stink it up probably until the bowl game
There’s no fucking way kicking 7 field goals is a success.. we don’t have a qb
So Peyton Thorne is not the Guy!!!!!!!!! Hank or Holden please. RS Walker. Let’s win this year!!!!
Nope. Thorne was head and shoulders above the other QB’s. Try watching the scrimmage bud.
Holden is leaving, he's nowhere near the top 3
Did you watch the game at all?
@@willbarclay6125Thorne is not that guy. Hugh Freeze should have recruited for a transfer QB just as hard as he recruited WR’s.
@@willbarclay6125 LAUGHABLE
Thorne is still making freshman mistakes so why not play brown as a freshman and get him experience so he'll be good for next year.
Brown looked pitiful beside one pass. Get real.
@@gamingdreams2142 he looked good in the bowl game with 5 minutes of experience. Thorne has played 5 yrs and still has no clue
This isn't the NFL. You don't tank for a first round pick or choose to break in your early round pick as a rookie to build for the future. You play the best players on your roster so you get the best chance to win the games on your schedule this year.
Sim pin for MID 🎶
I was not impressed with PT at all
What's w/ all the visceral anti-Payton Thorne stuff? It seems personal from some of the commenters weighing in. People can't even say anything even marginally good, or even non-committal, of the guy w/ out people berating him or her for being "pro-Payton Thorne". This isn't politics.
Just some haters on here... Some of em still mad he beat out Ashford even though Ashford prob shouldn't even be playing that position at all. At least Sam Jackson got wise and moved back to receiver. I think he may actually end up being a contributor as well.
Thorne is NOT IT!!!!!!! I will tune in after he is benched
If you are planning on tuning in after he's benched you are either going to miss the first half of the season or Auburn is going to lose at home to the same Arkansas team that Thorne absolutely torched in Fayetteville last year.
Guess you don't remember that game.
Arky was dead last in the West when we beat them having just fired their OC, a true sht house
But an SEC team with a stronger roster than Cal. The point is they said they wouldn't watch a game til Thorne is benched. The first game that would be a likelihood is game 5 against Oklahoma. Thanks for chiming in with useless info everyone always knows but it makes no difference whatsoever in this situation
They were also coming off a road win in Gainesville... Also meaningless but ya know the SEC is better than the big 10 and QBs in that conference aren't facing real competition and all... until that no longer fits a narrative and then the SEC teams are no longer quality competition. Just depends on the day I guess
Arky was LAST in the West when we played them again facts just like I said and finished LAST in the West, cope, it was a sht house football team in shambles that almost fired their HC after having fired their OC...keep flailing with the spin...Mid
End of the day, most important position is not reliable, even during a spring scrimmage... maybe defense will save this team, receivers will make the QB look good, and some lucky bounces go our way to add 2 or 3 wins. Not sure how a QB with 4 years of high level starting experience isn't even reading the defense wearing his same colors... give the real critiques here.
Thorne looked better so quit hating. You just mad the guys you want to start look horrible.
@@gamingdreams2142 that's rich coming from you 😂
@@gamingdreams2142 I want PT to be the guy so bad, he's just been so mid and underwhelming. But, he scramble, and hopefully the receivers make him look good. Point is, there's simple issues an experienced QB like him shouldn't have. I'm not coming from an armchair perspective. I see things from a different angle.
Thorne didn’t look much better he’s just managed. Hank had the most upside needs to work on the crossing route and not throwing into double coverage. Sorry Holden!
Stop it! You are obviously blind. He was 5-13 so get real.
Agreed!!!👍
Receivers look great and Coleman is special.DBs safeties look really good there speed and size are going to be trouble for the other side.In whole Defense looked solid DL and linebackers held there own couldn’t run on them and outside pressure on passes was very good.lots of speed.OL is a work in progress no push anywhere on runs and pressure from outside on pass plays a concern.QBs hard to judge going in n out like that but not bad they all had her moments but not good enough for SEC.Hard to judge running backs there were no holes to run through and they threw more than normal.Kicker the kid from Auburn was awesome MVP but that says something about your offense.Still I’m positive out of this 7-8 wins WDE
If thorne being qb isnt enough to inspire you to give to on to victory then idk what is. The collective is a way to have fans more in control instead of the boosters.
PT looked good hank was second then white.
Is the defense this good or is the O-Line this bad? Running game was non existent.
Cam Coleman was great. So was Towns McGough who has a phenomenal leg!
Defense was in the backfield all day.
Praise God you took the little league flat-bill off. Look like a real-deal adult. Dap is always the boss. Note - Dap does not wear goofy hats. Adulting.
They never really gave the runners a lot of plays. Cobb looked amazing in the run. Both cam and Louis looked amazing.
People who are saying Thorne sucks are obviously saying what they WANT to hear and they’re in denial. Either that or they just didn’t watch the whole game. None of the QB’s played their best but Thorne looked the most comfortable and fact is he’s the only one that threw a TD pass and he should’ve had a 2nd TD to Robert Lewis but they blew the play dead for no reason.
Hank had a TD to Fair...but Fair never left the ground and missed it because he played on the ground at 5'8
Cam bailed PT out of bad duck for the touchdown
Terrible pass for the TD, thanks Cam for bailing him out.
What planet do you live on?
Damn I didn’t know the hater-zombies were out at this time of day
Tre was walking through the concourse before the game
that scoreboard needs to be updated such an eye sore
Already in the works I believe
Tired of being kicker U though want to be QB U!
I'll settle for getting back to being "running back U".
@@donjackson5785 no doubt!
I'd like to point out this was A&Ms D last year, great front 7 but gives up a lot of passing yards.
I’ve been sick this weekend, so perhaps I slept through any semblance of a run game yesterday, but from I saw we looked anemic at best in that part of the game.
I don’t understand why we need more receivers unless we anticipate some hitting the portal.
I feel better that we have one Bad A kicker 7 for 7 58 yards
Multiple times our defensive ends were not setting the edge.
Yes, they are young and hope we get it corrected.
Both of them are freshman. Lindsey and Waller. They will get better.
Go UConn
Quarterback Quarterback Quarterback
Did Hank Brown make Ground against PT?
@@clocktowerhill8760not really. Brown was with the threes. He had one or two good throws. Thorne was obvious leader and will be QB1
@@willbarclay6125 he was 5-12 for 103 yds with the best throw of the day which was also the longest and he was the only QB without a recorded sack...your hero threw one nice pass to Sam Jackson, a couple decent to Robert Lewis one was a wounded duck late and short ..the 40 yd play.
His throws weren't impressive and he wasn't impressive...he was the same no pace on the ball running from ghosts mid loser we saw last year and in the MCB...he has not improved and is clearly average and not where he needs to be
I usually come on here and bash our team and holler 6-6 every single year. I had questioned have we really gotten better at receiver. I had big questions about our d line getting pushed around. I also was skeptical about us losing our whole secondary even though folks were saying we had plenty of talent stepping in to replace the guys that left for the nfl. After watching the game yesterday i actually feel much better about 2024 than I did before yesterday. We can win 8 games next season. I think our defense will be better next year. Our offense will also be better next year. I still think freeze screwed up by not getting Riley Leonard or cam ward. Our qb hasn’t improved but we do have better receivers which will make him look better . He’s got a weak arm and if your going to have a weak arm you need to be smart as hell and always know where to go with the ball and anticipate throws ahead of time . Thorne doesn’t do any of that well. He’s still our best option right now but he’s really the only thing that’s really holding this team back . With our schedule next year if we had Leonard or ward we could win 9-10 games and possibly competing for a playoff spot. Besides that I’m pleased with what I saw with the secondary and receivers and d line which were my big concerns. I know some might be worried about the o line not providing much room for the running backs but it’s hard to run the ball in spring when the defense knows the qb isn’t going to pull it and run the ball. They can sale out to stop the running back because they know that the qb isn’t running. Our o line pushed around Alabama and at time Georgia last year. They should be fine. I’m coming off my 6-6 preseason prediction. I see 7-8 wins now.
I agree but I do think Walker White is the real deal.
Yeah you can tell PT doesn’t have the zip on his passes that WW does. And I noticed WW gets the ball out of his hands a lot quicker which led to some mistakes but that will improve as opposed PT which is still indecisive and not throwing with anticipation.
The younger QB's all have great arms, but their accuracy was a little off. A little worried about Payton's accuracy, as well. Just get it close to these receivers and we should be okay! War Eagle!
A little off? 😂 try way off
Hank Brown had the best and longest throw of the day, a perfectly executed 49 yard bomb,...wonder what he could do with the ones all the time with the same opportunity, couldn't be worse than a mid transfer that finished dead LAST in the SEC in 23 QBR and obviously hasn't improved since he last stunk it up in the MCB.
@@autksame shit with you. One pass here and there and you all up the butt! Keep your shit at home and argue from the couch!
Robby wasn’t shit and there ain’t a black QB for you to pull for!
@@lewismorris5931U weird as hell bringing up a persons skin color.
