Hugh is probably terrified of losing to LaMo and playing Thorne will almost assure we win that game. A younger QB could have some errors that keeps them in the game. Then i expect bama and A&M to have a gameplan defensively to rattle Thorne early on and Auburn fans will play the hoping game the last three quarters of both of the games. Look we are screwed if we don’t establish the run and Thorne at QB honestly makes stopping the run easy for SEC defenses because you know he isn’t going to hit a deep throw once he is rattled on the first drive. So pack it in and really attack run lanes and Thorne can’t capitalize. Basically 4-8 is guaranteed (or worse) and i won’t be surprised if the class starts to jump. Could be before the ‘25 season starts that we know that Hugh won’t make it here (ok we have a good idea now). Probably early signing day we will know.
