Isn’t the “next-man-up” a 5 star freshman?

He must be terrible if he couldn’t beat out Arnold in the first place.

They should consider it. Hugh seems dead set on dropping back and passing. And, as anybody who watched OU last year could tell you, that’s not Arnold’s game.

Our QB can’t read defenses, holds onto the ball too long, and takes unnecessary sacks.

Freeze’s response is to call 90% pass plays against a good defense in their house.

Hugh doesn’t have the cognitive function to make any changes.

Then why was Arnold brought in? Seems Freeze has a talent evaluation problem. How much is Arnold getting paid?

I would assume he knows he’s on the hot seat?

With Hugh involved, you should maybe use better word choice.

Anyone consider JA makes the O-lines look worse because he holds the ball too long.

Coincidence that he owns the record for most sacks as an OU QB and as an OU opponent QB in singles games at Gaylor-Memorial?

Hugh Freeze is an idiot for sticking with Sackson Arnold

you arent wrong, but there were a lot of times that the ball snaps and there are 2 to 3 defenders there before he or a RB can do much.

I thought Arnold would be about equivalent to Payton Thorne, he’s actually a downgrade.
