If you forget the back-breaking second-half turnovers, Clayton Thorson’s performance was pretty encouraging. He stayed on the field for nearly the entire game, playing all but two or three series at quarterback. Thorson may still be on a series count, but he must be pretty close to 100 percent given he threw the ball 52 times and scrambled around the pocket on several occasions as well. Thorson looked really good on two touchdown drives that culminated in tosses to Cam Green.
Obviously, his performance is blotted by three turnovers leading to 21 Akron points. But it seems like No.
