Episode 316: Process > Result (Samford Recap)

Justin, Dan and Painter discuss what they learned from Auburn football’s 44-13 Homecoming win over Samford to close the first quarter of the 2023 season.

The guys look at Payton Thorne bouncing back from a rough start to put up some big numbers on the ground and through the air. They discuss the receiving threats who stepped up Saturday night, break down what went wrong with the rest of the running game and salute another strong defensive performance from the Tigers.

Toward the end of the episode, they discuss the SEC’s weird start to the season — from the underwhelming performances from projected contenders to the lack of strong quarterback play across the league.
