Auburn football: Quarterback stats halfway through the season

How have Payton Thorne, Robby Ashford and Holden Geriner performed?

Auburn's quarterbacks have not performed up to expectations this season.

Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne has not impressed through four games as the Tigers' primary signal-caller, leading offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery to pull him out for Robby Ashford, last year's starter.

The rotation has been clunky, with no success and a clear lack of rhythm. It feels like a tale we've been reading about Auburn forever; they can't find a solid, consistent quarterback to lead the offense.

It's unclear how Auburn is going to approach the position for the final six games of the year.

Here's a look at how the room has performed six games into the season.
