The Auburn Tigers appear to have made the inevitable decision of turning back to Payton Thorne as the starting quarterback for Saturday's clash with the Oklahoma Sooners.
Source: Payton Thorne is set to start for Auburn against Oklahoma on Saturday. His experience playing so many defenses over the years have him prepared him for Oklahoma’s stout defense. Both Thorne and Hank Brown had solid weeks of practice.. "His experience playing so many defenses over the years have him prepared him for Oklahoma’s stout defense. Both Thorne and Hank Brown had solid weeks of practice.

Brown threw three interceptions in his half of work against Arkansas, while Thorne has thrown five interceptions in his last-six quarters of action. It's a stone cold certainty that regardless of who was getting the start, the 21st ranked Oklahoma Sooners were always going to be bringing the heat.
