AthlonSports’ Kevin Borba called the Auburn football quarterback room a disaster in an assessment of Wazzu transfer Cameron Ward’s landing spots, while also calling the Tigers a “riskier” option via the portal.
“Auburn’s quarterback situation was a disaster this season, and Hugh Freeze will likely be all-in on a handful of transfer quarterbacks just to make sure he doesn’t have to deal with that again,” he wrote. “Heading to Auburn compared to some of the other options may be a bit riskier, but Ward doesn’t seem to shy away from a challenge as he bet himself once already.”
Notably, Ward on the Plains was not dismissed; rather, it was promoted as a potential challenge for anyone looking for one during their collegiate careers. Ward wouldn’t be the only one to risk it for the biscuit in Auburn if Alabama flip Perry Thompson, recent Texas A&M flip Cameron Coleman, and Georgia flip Demarcus Riddick felt like challenging themselves.
Auburn football quarterback Payton Thorne failed to impress national analysts.
Those who covered Auburn’s four-game losing streak to begin SEC play will recall how much better Payton Thorne looked once the schedule reached the Mississippi State/Vanderbilt/Arkansas portion.
However, many people across the country are leaving with the same impression of the Tigers that they had before the season began. Thorne’s failures against Texas A&M, LSU, and Ole Miss are obvious reasons for this.
When compared to Bo Nix’s near-Heisman campaign at Oregon, Hugh Freeze’s insistence on an unpopular two-man system that never gave Robby Ashford a true chance was a disaster for Auburn’s offense, and thus the plot is lost on national analysts.
All things considered, it’s not surprising to hear AU’s QB room described as a disaster.
