OU had no choice but to bench Jackson Arnold for Michael Hawkins Jr.

Brent Venables had no choice but to bench Jackson Arnold.  Arnold, who Venables has put a lot of trust in this season and beyond, was abysmal in the first half. He had three turnovers — an interception into triple coverage, a fumble on the 5-yeard line and a lateral pass on a play in which he totally misread the defense. They were catastrophic turnovers for Oklahoma, leading to its 25-15 defeat by No. 6 Tennessee Saturday night in Norman.
