Preview

The main storyline for this matchup is Auburn starting quarterback Jackson Arnold walking back into his former home stadium, but this time taking a different route into the visitors locker room. In December, Arnold entered the transfer portal from Oklahoma, where he then committed to Auburn. 

Although Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze said Arnold is blocking out the noise, Arnold still has a chance to prove his former team’s fans wrong about him. Freeze is using his own personal experience from previously being the head coach at Ole Miss to help Arnold.

“The good thing is that I’ve had personal experience with that,” Freeze said on Monday. “I’ve had to go back in a place that I enjoyed coaching. Won some games. Had to go back in there and take another team in and play. That whole week, it was a challenge for me not to think about some of that.

“I know the same will be true for Jackson (Arnold). He’s very mature, and he doesn’t give any credit to any noise or talk. He’s a pro. We all understand people might cheer for him, boo him, whatever it is. I think he’s mentally strong and is more about preparing.” 

Arnold spent two seasons with the Sooners. Last season, he was essentially thrown into the fire with an injury ridden team. But now, he returns with backup with a chance to play spoiler. 

Auburn has a chance to add to their resumé by taking down No.11 on the road this weekend, which could sky rocket them into the top-15 in the AP poll, possibly higher.
