Payton Thorne returns as the starter for the Auburn Tigers, but with a highly-touted freshman in the wings, the battle for QB2 is one to watch.
. While he earned the starting spot, what happens if he suffers an injury? Traditionally, backup quarterbacks enjoy unfettered anonymity until opportunity presents itself. Granted, everyone in the locker room and admin prefers Thorne to finish the season.
Although no one will confuse him for a dual threat, the Savannah, Ga. native will prolong plays and gain positive yards, if the moment presents itself. Geringer presents as a capable backup that will not deviate from the plan. As a result, defenses will play him similar to Thorne, but with less experience.
Brown scans through his progressions at a lightning pace. As a result, his throws immediately find the targets. Moreover, he excels at the intermediate throw, allowing the receiver to gain chunk yardage after the catch. With that patience and confidence, you can see the coaching staff believing in him to take the reins in an emergency. Plus, Hugh Freeze recruited Brown while he coached at Liberty.
As trite as the quarterback label of gunslinger is, White embodies the ability to take the top off a defense in a hurry. Receivers that love the vertical game will appreciate catching deep routes from him. Additionally, the freshman displays enough foot speed and agility to gain yards with his legs. Now, that does not mean he will run an RPO, just that he's not a statue.
