Absolutely saw Thorne be completely ineffective - it was hard to watch 😬
I don't blame Hugh for wanting a spark either, I just think he should have firmly installed Thorne as the starter (he was also named a captain) and said the team is behind him and he has our support (basically what Saleh is doing with Zach Wilson right now).
From day 1, Freeze has been saying things like other guys are nipping at his heels, Robby needs touches, etc. This has caused Thorne to play scared for his job and is likely a large contributing factor to his poor play.
Had Freeze done this, only for Thorne to fall apart as he did this past week, ok, bring another guy in and look for that spark. Robby is a hell of an athlete, but is a career 50% (or worse) passer and has missed hitting the hole when he does run. To me, our best shot is to try and help Thorne return to his MSU form. If he can't do this after a few games with full support, the season is likely lost anyway and we can give Geriner a shot.
