Ahead of Auburn's game against Mississippi State, head coach Hugh Freeze pulled the trump card. He used his veto power. He acted as the CEO of the Tigers' football team.
Whichever wording one prefers, Freeze did it last week ahead of Auburn’s matchup with Mississippi State.
Thorne finished the day with a 20-for-26 passing performance under his belt. His 77% completion percentage was a career high for him – even dating back to his time at Michigan State. The Bulldogs’ defense tallied four tackles for a loss on Saturday, which resulted in a combined loss of just 14 yards.And some of that success was the result of Freeze once again putting his foot down.
Auburn offensive linemen Kam Stutts and Gunner Britton have been dinged up, but not enough to keep them off the field completely, Freeze says. So the veteran tandem has continued to be a staple along the offensive line on Saturdays. “I think rotating them is in the best of us, but to handle all the stuff that State throws at a team the way they did in the first half was really, really remarkable, truthfully,” Freeze said. “I expected a lot more negative plays than we had. And they protected the quarterback really well, the first half especially.”
