Payton Thorne - Named QB1 moving forward Throne has been named Auburn's starting quarterback by head coach Hugh Freeze moving forward, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports. Impact Throne has struggled this season, but he's coming off a very solid performance against a great defense in Oklahoma. The gunslinger tossed for 338 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while completing 65.6 percent of his passes. That showing was enough for Freeze to name him the starter moving forward, effectively confining Hank Brown, who has also played this season, to the bench.
