Payton Thorne says that going ahead, he and the Auburn coaches are in agreement.
That was obviously not the case on Saturday, though, as Auburn fell to Georgia 31–13.
On a fourth-and-1 play from Auburn’s 44-yard line to open the fourth quarter, Thorne was stuffed on what seemed to be a zone read.
The Next Round was informed by Thorne, “I won’t get too into it.” “I would describe what transpired, but I don’t believe that would benefit our group. That one will remain confidential, but I will state that I did not examine any plays.
Hugh Freeze, the coach of Auburn, stated something different after the game.
Indeed, Freeze stated on Sunday, “he totally didn’t go with what we had called.” Payton has a critical mind. He is familiar with football. He made the decision to attempt a zone read of some kind there. Everyone seemed a little bewildered, in my opinion. However, that was clearly not where we agreed. I should have called a timeout when I noticed that things weren’t going as planned.
The play was meant to be a left-handed dive for Jarquez Hunter, but according to Freeze, “we didn’t execute that play.”
Thorne said on Tuesday, “It was something we talked about on the sideline.” “I described what I saw and its nature. Our coaches obviously saw what I was saying when they watched the game after it ended. We took care of it.
