Auburn is nearing the end of its first fall camp under [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] as the start of the 2023 college football season is getting closer and closer.
The Tigers had their second and final scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday and freshly named starting quarterback [autotag]Peyton Thorne[/autotag] looked much better Freeze said.
“He had two really bad decisions, I thought, but really settled in and I thought played really solid. I thought he pulled a couple of good quarterback runs, and obviously we’re blowing it pretty quick. I’ll be anxious when it gets real to see what he does (running the ball). I thought he played solid. I think it was the first two possessions, I think he made two poor choices. And then he settled in and played really well.”
This comes after Freeze admitted that he thought Thorne was “pressing” in Auburn’s scrimmage last week.
Thorne was named Auburn’s starting quarterback on Thursday and will have two weeks as the top dog before Auburn opens its season against UMass on Sept. 3 in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Here is a look at the best photos from Auburn’s scrimmage, including wide receiver [autotag]Shane Hooks[/autotag] making a catch that Freeze thought was worth of being on SportsCenter.
