Payton Thorne named Auburn starting quarterback against Oklahoma

Auburn is returning to fifth-year senior Payton Thorne as the starting quarterback, according to Auburn Live’s Justin Hokanson. Thorne began the year as the starting quarterback for the Tigers.

However, after a difficult beginning to the season, Auburn benched Thorne and turned to Hank Brown, who started the previous two games and also struggled. Now, with Oklahoma visiting, the Tigers are giving the offense back to Thorne in hopes stronger play emerges at the position.
