Entering Week 4, Oklahoma has not created a single takeaway. The Sooners are among just 6 programs without a turnover so far this season.
Kirk Herbstreit believes Oklahoma will end its turnover drought today against Jackson Arnold and the Auburn Tigers.
“This Oklahoma team has not created a turnover in 3 games,” Herbstreit said. “One of the few teams in the entire country. I think that changes today. I think that will be a big part of the reason they win this game today.”
Arnold has yet to throw an interception this year. He’s thrown for 501 yards and 4 touchdowns through 3 games. He struggled in Auburn’s last game against South Alabama, completing his passes at a 54.2% rate for 142 yards and just 1 touchdown. He will need to be much better if he wants to beat his old team in Oklahoma.
Oklahoma has been rolling this season. Quarterback John Mateer has thrown for nearly double Arnold’s yards, 944 yards. He’s also added 161 yards on the ground.
Kickoff for Oklahoma versus Auburn is set for 3:30 p.m. ET.
