Jackson Arnold, Quarterback
We want to see freshman [autotag]Jackson Arnold[/autotag] on Saturday.
If he’s in there, that means [autotag]Dillon Gabriel[/autotag] and the rest of the starters held down the fort and came out guns blazing enough to give the second-team guys some run.
For Oklahoma’s sake, they need Arnold to get reps because the former five-star, Gatorade National Player of the Year, is Oklahoma’s QB2. Ultimately, he’s their future as they head to the SEC next year.
It’s hard to think that far ahead, but what if something unfortunate happens to Gabriel? We saw Oklahoma’s QB situation when Gabriel suffered a concussion last year. That can never happen again, and Arnold should get the opportunity to get his feet wet in real game action.
They aren’t going to red shirt him, so give him as many snaps as possible if the opportunity presents itself.
