Auburn fans are growing frustrated with the two-quarterback system but it doesn’t sound like [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] has any plans to stick with one quarterback moving forward.
“I don’t think it had anything to do with the outcome of the game,” he said after the game. “I think both had a really good package and both worked at times. It would be nice to have one for sure but we’re searching to see what the best avenue is for us to go and win. I still think that Robby (Ashford) should have a package. I felt good about both of these packages tonight. I think they both worked at times, but it was when you get into the third down area that we didn’t convert.”
[autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] both played extensively in Auburn’s 28-21 loss to Ole Miss Saturday night in Jordan-Hare Stadium but neither one was able to effectively move the ball.
Thorne finished the game 9-of-13 passing for 100 yards and one touchdown and rushed 11 times for 34 yards. Ashford went 3-of-4 for 22 yards and added 27 yards on eight carries. Each quarterback also threw an interception into double coverage that ended a scoring opportunity.
Here is everything Freeze and Auburn’s players had to say about Auburn’s fourth straight loss of the season.
