At his best, Bo could carve up Bama’s defense and make anyone’s defense look like a joke. Other times he would look like he wouldn’t start for a high school team. He was better more times than not and the best thing about him that wasn’t talked about enough was his leadership. His leadership and toughness are why Freeze and our program were able to turn around as quickly as we did.

I think Thorne has good tools but he’s not as mentally or physically tough as Wallace and doesn’t seem like a leader.

I said this on the Ole Miss board but I don’t know if Freeze’s heart is all in at Auburn like it was at Ole Miss or even Liberty. I don’t know if it’s the stress of the job or what but he always seems miserable and not as fiery as he was here.

Peyton couldn’t hold Bo’s jock strap.

Bo played hurt a lot. Caused some of the bad Bo throws.

Auburn would be dangerous with Bo

Not even close to each other. Bro was the QB equivalent of a mudder! Thorne is on par with Weigman level of incompetence!

Played the 2014 Egg Bowl on basically a broken ankle. Still carved up that State defense and kept them out of the playoff. One of, if not my favorite performance by an OM QB ever

Who is Auburns backup and how bad must he be?

Are there not any other options?

No Wallace was great but busted up his shoulder and couldn’t throw the deep ball. So teams who were smart just loaded the box.

“Good Bo, Bad Bo” was invented by Gary Danielson and was kinda BS.


Didn't he hurt it in the Tulane game when it was a blowout?

He was hurt early in the Tulane game, played through it. I have heard he didn't throw the ball much during the week after that, shot him up on Saturday so he could pick his hand up above his shoulder.
