Auburn, Oklahoma with quarterback questions entering game
Oklahoma made the decision to bench Jackson Arnold against Tennessee, riding with true freshman Michael Hawkins. Head coach Brent Venables did not waste much time letting a quarterback competition play out, naming Hawkins the starter moving forward on Monday.
Auburn went through something similar against Arkansas. Hank Brown made his second career start but after three interceptions, Hugh Freeze went back to Payton Thorne. Despite Thorne throwing an interception, the Tigers’ offense did have a little more life to it with the veteran in there.
Freeze has yet to name a starter for Saturday’s game. No timeline for a decision has been made either, making it quite possible we do not know until somebody runs onto the field.
