Here is what we learned about the Tigers after the loss. Quarterback Payton Thorne was benched a short couple of weeks ago and thrown back into action last week against Arkansas after struggles shown by Hank Brown. He responded this week in one of the biggest games of Auburn’s season by playing well, which is what fans desperately needed to see.

The Sooners were running onto the field at Jordan-Hare when an Auburn cheerleader was doing a series of flips to fire up the crowd. He must have not been able to look where he was going because he clobbered an Oklahoma player.
