Auburn football: Does Payton Thorne’s leash lengthen after game vs. No. 1 Georgia?

Payton Thorne was a whipping post for criticism after the loss at Texas A&M. But Hugh Freeze's leash on the transfer quarterback hadn't yet run out and Thorne's gutsy performance against No. 1 Georgia might've shown why.

On the ground, Thorne led Auburn’s rushers for the second game this season as he tallied 92 rushing yards against Georgia – of which 61 yards came on a single trot down the Georgia sideline in the opening half.

But the Tigers failing to eclipse the goal line wasn’t an end-all, be-all situation – especially in the first quarter. Auburn tallied just 88 passing yards against Georgia on Saturday, meaning the Tigers have passed for less than 100 yards in each of their three games against Power 5 opponents this season.
