Hey, what's going on? This is the starting on South podcast. I am Kramar Gura. Well, I think,

0:14.9

think that for certain, but I think that Auburn has found its new starting quarterback.

0:23.3

Not sure, Peyton Thorn would have been at the top of the transfer portal wish list back in November,

0:28.9

but beggars can't be choosers maybe. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, listen, if you are a, you know,

0:34.4

average big 10 quarterback, the world is your oyster. You're like the bell of the ball this time of

0:38.4

a year. It really, I mean, there is something to be said for it. And let's even branch out

0:43.5

entire Midwest because we'll include Tyler Buckner in that camp as well. I forgot to share the

0:48.8

was not born in the same hospital as Peyton Thorn as far as I know, but we are both suburbs of

new starting quarterback is going to be Peyton Thorn. I don't feel like I would bet my house on

1:42.9

that, but I'm at least confident in that. And as intrigued as I am about Robbie Asford, we've said

1:51.0

a lot of pretty positive things about him given what we know those limitations to be at this

1:56.4

stage of his career. I think you freeze made this move to establish a bit of a proof of concept

2:01.9
