I didn't like the Freeze hire and I am pretty sure you didn't either. This guys strength is supposed to be recruiting and offense. If he can't get the offense together, good luck keeping the recruiting.

I bet the “Freeze Four” are hating their decision to come here. If everyone of them left tomorrow, nobody would blame them.

Been an AU fan my entire life and this is the abusive cycle for the past 40 years. Complete ineptitude just with different names on the jerseys and sidelines.

Could’ve had Cam Ward



he was too expensive. I don't mind passing on him. surely there was another option though.

Your not going to win without a quarterback, and either ours is a backup or doesn’t exist..

This is fair. I think in practice Thorne must look like he did last week, but its clear at this point that he just folds under pressure. He can't handle medium moments, much less big ones.



It’s not like he’s new. He is a senior who had plenty of playing time to improve. I just have not been able to understand why we counted on him to change?


It’s been baffling.

Thorne looked as if he genuinely didn’t care or want to be there at the end of the game with that last INT. That should be enough alone for the head coach to pull him.

Not that it matters, but their loss was even worse.

Still that is like saying we are the white part of dog shite... still dog shite.

At least durkin made an adjustment. This was a terrible showing by the offensive side of the ball. Poor play calling and severely under prepared. Freeze needs a wake up call. His recruiting has been awesome but cal an new Mexico state beating our tails is unacceptable!

Qb recruiting is fine. We could have had Deuce if we were on schedule.

we still have roster issues that made Thorne incapable of being an 8-5 bridge QB and that is sad. Freeze probably expected the line to block better and better rhythm

The harbinger of this game started when Freeze went for a long pass on a 3rd and short that didn't catch Cal napping.

Our D scheme for the first half was mostly a three man rush which allowed the Cal QB to complete 19 out of 21 passes and one of those incompletions was a throw-away. I hate that 3 man rush. It's a formula for making an average QB look like a Heisman candidate.

The whole first half screens in the right flat were left wide open time after time. That sucked. That's a major failure to adjust.

Thorne is toast. He lost his head or left it in the locker room.

Freeze made a huge mistake sticking with Thorne.

He should have paid for Cam Ward.

Duck man was smart enough to go get him.

Freeze deserves every bit of shite the fan base dumps on him. He has four humiliating losses in his last five games and three of those were in Jordan Hare. NMSU was ridiculous, 4th and 31, the arse kicking from Maryland, and now this riding with Peyton Thorne shite show today. Harsin did not embarrass the program at home to the extent Freeze has and he was fricking awful.

Ward has some great OL and receivers at Miami.

What makes you think he would want Auburn

The team was not up for the game either. They just looked dull and flat. Maybe they thought the 73-3 beatdown last week allowed this game to be mailed in.
