Payton Thorne passed for 282 yards and a touchdown and ran for 123 yards and two more scores to lead Auburn to a 45-13 victory over Samford on Saturday night.
Thorne had easily his biggest game with the Tigers despite throwing a pair of interceptions in the end zone against the Bulldogs , an FCS team.
“I told people all summer that I couldn’t run last year.” Thorne said. “But I can get some stuff done on the ground.” Held to 94 passing yards against California, Thorne had a 32-yard touchdown pass to Shane Hooks to go with scoring runs of 5 and 18 yards. It was the first Auburn touchdown catch for Hooks, a Jackson State transfer, and the Tigers’ longest scoring pass of the season.
