Payton Thorne - Offense sputters in surprising loss Thorne completed 15-of-19 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown Saturday against New Mexico State, while also rushing 17 times for 38 yards in the 31-10 loss. Impact Thorne's stat line is not necessarily bad, though the Auburn offense was stymied on the ground, and Thorne had limited success throwing down the field, even against a non-conference opponent. The task gets much tougher in the Iron Bowl against Alabama as well; things could get ugly for the Tigers next weekend.
