Auburn football showed signs of struggle in Saturday’s 14-10 win over California. Most of that could be seen in quarterback [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag]’s performance.
The Michigan State transfer failed to reach a 65% completion rate in two starts to this point. He increased his completion percentage from 58.8% to 64.3% in week two but passed for just 94 yards and two touchdowns.
According to Pro Football Focus, Thorne graded out at 50.8, which is the lowest among SEC quarterbacks for week two. His game two grade is 28 points lower than his game one grade, which averages him out at 64.9 for the season to this point.
We know that Thorne had the lowest grade of all SEC quarterbacks in week two, but how does his performance against California stack up with the rest of the SEC’s starters?
Here’s a rundown of week two’s SEC quarterback grades from Pro Football Focus.
