In a thrilling return to where it all began, Jackson Arnold is set to lead the No. 22 Auburn Tigers in a face-off against the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners in Week 4.
ESPN’s SP+ score predictor gives the Sooners a narrow edge, forecasting a 28-21 victory at home. Here’s a look at SP+ score predictions for every Week 4 contest:
The Oklahoma defense has been nothing short of spectacular this season. While it was expected that they would dominate opponents like Temple and Illinois State, allowing just six points combined, their ability to stifle Michigan’s offense to only 13 points made a strong statement.
On the other side of the field, Jackson Arnold has found his rhythm during his journey with Auburn, showcasing remarkable versatility through three games as a Tiger. His partnership with running back Jeremiah Cobb has resulted in an offense that is both productive and efficient. However, they’ll face their toughest test yet against Oklahoma’s defense, ranked 5th in defensive rush access rate, allowing just 2.9 yards per carry.
Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. from Norman on Saturday afternoon.
