Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne revealed an interesting trend by Tigers fans amid the program’s offensive troubles through two games this season.

“And then, obviously the social media, they hit you on Venmo, all types of stuff. You just have to block it out, you have to go back to where your foundation is in your life, and for me that’s my faith and my family. Just doing that and then keeping the focus on what’s next.
