Come on Jang, aTm drove the field, hit Hooks in the chest for a touchdown, and he dropped it. Throne couldn’t do crap that game.

Noboody could do crap that game. Peyton had a 21 QBR, Robbie had an 18 QBR.

hUGA, he scored easily to start the 2nd half and then got pulled for the rest of the game.

Ashford did have that one drive as a runner against Georgia (he threw one pass the whole game),but the fact remains: Hugh does not trust him to throw. And we need him to throw. We dont need Ashford in the game for his running ability. Thorne may not be elusive in the pocket but he can pick up yaradage on the ground as part of a coordinated running attack, and that is good enough while the schedule is easier and the pass rush is less fierce. At one point in week 6 Thorne led our whole team in rushing yards after all. Robbie is not needed anymore. Cant pass; not the only one that can run.

We also watched Ashford play last year and he did not do much except contribute empty stats. He got the bulk of his yardage against LSU in two broken coverage deep plays which led Auburn to a quick two score lead. Ashford didnt do anything for the rest of the game-passing stats rendered meaningless. Meanwhile, his outings against Bama and Ole Miss were pretty nice, but they were while the game was mostly out of hand.
