1. Auburn’s Payton Thorne has his coming out party

Payton Thorne, the graduate transfer from Michigan State, threw for over 200 yards and ran for 100 yards as he scored three touchdowns in the last game.

Look for Thorne to have a breakout performance that will have the Tigers at 4-0.

The biggest question that will be answered is, will Payton be able to run for another 100 yards on the ground this week? This is going to be a fun football game that could shake up the West if Auburn can leave with a win.

Prediction: Auburn 38, Texas A&M 28
