Earlier this week we had the chance to talk to Ryan O’Bleness from the The Only Colors regarding this week’s matchup with the Huskies.
Here’s what we learned in our Q&A:
.
UWDP: QB Payton Thorne completed 60% of his passes a year ago with a solid 8.3 yards per attempt, and he’s on about that same pace in 2022. What does he bring to the table in terms of decision making and big play ability? How has his pass protection held up this season?
Ryan O’Bleness: Payton Thorne is an incredibly smart and cerebral player at the quarterback position, which isn’t surprising since he grew up with both his father and grandfather as coaches throughout his entire childhood (Jeff Thorne, Payton’s dad, is currently the offensive coordinator at Western Michigan).
