Where exactly is he supposed to run?
Besides Maine, it is tough to justify another win on our schedule with an offense like this.
He will likely wanna transfer out ar seasons end and who could blame him. These Offensive Coaches need to be gone.Oh yeah this all on Arnold.
Nevermind last score was a fluke.Start this guy next week.
Too little too late for tonight.
I'd put Hawkins in and let him run. Guy is fast......it can't get much worse
High School Offense trying to play Big Boy Football.What happened? 😁
Agreed to an extent. As I said in another thread I really wanted JA to be the QB this year but truth is he has not been overly impressive. In fact he has been more down than up. Yes the OL is bad but its not like JA passes have been awe inspiring. Tonight the defense came up with some huge plays and put the offense in some great opportunities. OU failed to take advantage and JA was a big part of the reason for that.We can't blame the offense scheme or oline for Arnolds mistakes. He threw an interception when he had great protection, fumbled on the 5, and threw a ball behind the receiver (almost did it twice). Arnold doesn't seem to be able to handle the pressure.
Do they start Hawkins? Heck ya! Arnold was on the sidelines watching his starting job disappear. I guess we should have known when he stunk it up in the bowl game last year. He has never played up to his 5 star hype.Agreed to an extent. As I said in another thread I really wanted JA to be the QB this year but truth is he has not been overly impressive.

The coaches made the right choice to bench him but do they start Hawkins next week vs Auburn or do they send Arnold back out? If so how much of a leash will he be given if he struggles once again? Sometimes players just don’t pan out and it is up to the coaches to do what is best for the team over what is best for the player based on rather or not he will transfer if he isn’t playing.
I think through 4 games that crossroad has reared it’s ugly head.
It all boils down to JA is a bust and Seth is a bad OC. BB is not off the hook either as we knew the SEC was looming and this is the best he could do with an offensive line? Forget the injuries they would not be that much better and the depth proves that. Why can't he recruit the guys he needs?The offensive line played poorly. Arnold played poorly. Is that the coaches fault? Maybe but I don’t give the players an out. They have to step up, play as they are “paid” to play and if they don’t, take responsibility. Arnold played like he was in La La Land sometimes. I’m sure a lot that has to do with the poor offensive line play, but his decision making is questionable a lot. Coaching can’t fix some of this stuff.
