Jackson Arnold returns to Oklahoma for Top 25 showdown: Full in-state Week 4 schedule

Jackson Arnold was once supposed to be the quarterback of the future at Oklahoma but things never seemed to come together once he moved into the starting role in 2024.

Arnold played in 17 games across two seasons in Norman but parted ways during the offseason, finding his way to The Plains which has brought some quick success for himself + the Auburn Tigers.

Alabama, Auburn move up in AP rankings; 11 SEC teams in Top 25

Now, Arnold will take his new team into Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for a top-25 matchup with the Sooners as Auburn begins its SEC slate.

During last season’s matchup, Arnold did not play as Oklahoma turned Michael Hawkins Jr. to lead them to a win at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers are now hoping for revenge.

And while most eyes will be on this major SEC matchup, there are seven other in-state Division I teams in action this weekend. Keep reading for the full schedule.
