Evaluating Auburn’s Position Groups in the Matchup Against Arkansas

How Did Auburn’s Position Groups Perform Against Arkansas?

Offense:

Quarterback: D

Without Auburn’s four interceptions, the performance by Hank Brown and Payton Thorne might be considered respectable. Brown completed 7 of 13 passes for 72 yards, while Thorne went 13 of 22 for 213 yards and two touchdowns.

It was smooth sailing—until disaster struck.

Unfortunately, interceptions are a major factor that cannot be overlooked. Brown threw three, with one coming off a tipped pass, while Thorne contributed one more, also off a tipped ball.

Moreover, both quarterbacks struggled with decision-making in key situations, which ultimately made quarterback play one of the primary reasons Auburn fell short in this game.
