The outlook of Auburn's offensive line has been the topic of much conversation and concern for years now, but new offensive line coach Jake Thornton might be more optimistic than most. "When I first got here, the first couple of days it was a big task," Thornton said of evaluating the offensive line. "But sitting down and watching film on our current players made me feel better about certain positions. I do believe there are good players in our room, and I believe there’s players in our room that are still young and growing. I think there’s a lot of older guys that are going to thrive in the way that we play offense." More from Thornton inside for Auburn Live members.
