Ashford came into the fall as Auburn's incumbent starting quarterback after starting nine of Auburn's 12 games in 2022.
Auburn sophomore Robby Ashford was given a tough pill to swallow Thursday as first-year head coach
Considering Ashford came into the fall as Auburn’s incumbent starter after starting nine of the Tigers’ 12 games last season, surely it was hard for him watch Freeze toss the keys to Auburn’s offense to Thorne. And based on Freeze’s comments Saturday, Ashford — playing the role of a poked bear — might be doing just that.
“Payton and Robby both had solid days,” said Freeze, adding that Ashford finished the day 8-for-15 with two touchdowns and no turnovers. Since Thorne was named the starter, Freeze has continued to praise the other two guys who drew out Auburn’s quarterback battle and has been especially high on the prospect of Ashford being a contributor with the Tigers’ offense this season.“Robby is not just a runner — he’s a dynamic runner, but he can throw. Certain things, he throws better. Hopefully, his consistency in that will continue to improve to where if we, whatever package he is in, they have to respect the pass off of it as well.
And while Thorne — barring any injuries — is Auburn’s set-in-stone starter for Week 1 against UMass, Ashford isn’t throwing in the towel.
