Can only think this is a good thing. Either Hank sucks, and the benching is the jab in the gut Thorne needs to rememebr how to play the position, or Hank rocks it and Thorne moves to back-up. Don't want to think about the third, probably more likely, possibility...

Saw this FDR quote last week: "Do something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else."

Thorne doesn't work, at least not with the offense and gameplay run last week. I'm ready for the "something else"

Agreed. I’m just so used to Auburn coaches sticking with their QBs out of loyalty or whatever. In the age of NIL and the transfer portal, loyalty is all but dead. Thorne is a 5th year senior, and his performance against Cal did not reflect that.

That said, the O-line also should have received an earful after that game.
