Auburn QB Payton Thorne after a tough performance against Cal

pton obviously going back to the drawing board what did you see with the turnovers and and how do you fix those mistakes for next week yeah you know there's some different situations that happen throughout the game um obviously no matter how a turnover happens or occurs um you don't want those and so uh we got to do a better job protecting the ball and that starts with me I touch the ball every play so um got to do that and uh like you said back to the drawing board a little bit you we're not going to abandon our offense but um just got to be sharper second half you guys ran the ball a little bit more uh but field positioning was a big issue all day long for you guys just talk a little bit about that and some of the difficulties that you had with the pressure that the defense was getting yeah I thought our defense really played well today uh you know they had a short field on an interception uh I don't know I think that was the first half um and did they score on that one I think they did and so that's you know that's not on them um and now we just didn't do a good enough job of getting first downs when we're backed up to flip the field you know obviously field position is an important thing in this game and at this level and so um like I said I thought our defense played really well today and uh you know we weren't able to do enough to help him out seemed like especially on the those last two interceptions maybe a miscommunication is that kind of what happened what were you kind of seeing on those last two maybe on the last Drive especially um what happened there um you know I didn't think it was necessarily miscommunication on on the on the first of those two um you know I saw man coverage over there with Cam we talked you know all all Camp uh the one-on-one we we like our chances and we feel like we're open and I found out afterwards you know I think that he was a little a little shaken up on that so I don't think he was 100% so uh that stinks obviously I didn't know that um and so um that's not on him you know uh like I said obviously he's not 100% that's going to make it tough but I don't know what the verdict is on that I think he's okay but um but yeah that was the first one the second one you know it's well we had 30 seconds left we're trying to get a chunk play and you know we ran something we tagged something that you know know over there and we have um you know gotten a ton of reps at that I guess and I thought that you know me and Keandre hadn't talked on the sideline about that play and so he was expecting that post to be way down the field and with one high Zone you know I'm that's going to be just a jump ball and that's that's tough and so I was trying to fit it in there on like a bang post type deal and um I like like you said we're just on different pages there P did you guys feel like you couldn't get into the with tonight and if so what was that defense yeah you know their defense did a good job of mixing some things up um like you said when we did get a rhythm going I feel like then we bang a negative play and you know you don't obviously uh want that and we try to limitate negative plays as much as we can and uh had a few too many tonight but I have to go back and look at the film this to really see momentum type stuff like that but um obviously we weren't able to hold on to that momentum tonight after that first drive where you guys went down the score what kind of was there anything that you saw the defense doing different ly that you guys kind of had to adjust to not necessarily obviously I miss a couple throws today um that you know I feel like I make on the regular uh just we on different pages uh on one of them kind of um and then the other one I just just kind of missed him and so um I don't think the defense necessarily did too much different they gave us a couple blitzes that we had we don't seen like once on film so I guess that's credit to them but um but yeah I I don't think they did too terribly much different all right last question what did you what did you feel about the rhythm of the passing game today the rhythm of the passing game um I'm not sure you know I that'll be one I have like you know study uh to be honest with you that question um like we said earlier we couldn't really getting much of a rhythm outside of that first drive on offense and so I guess the passing game would go along with that but um you know like I said I'll take a look on film to kind of um study up on that I guess how important is this week going to be leadership especially from you and the veterans on the team yeah you know it's early in the season it's only a week two and so uh it is important you know if we hang our heads here and think that the season's over thankfully this year The Season's not over and so it's it's really go time now and time to respond right that's it thank you thank
