Auburn Drops Rematch Against Oklahoma, Arnold Loses in Homecoming

NORMAN, Okla.- The No.22 Auburn Tigers (3-1) fall on the road to No.11 Oklahoma (4-0) on the road, 24-17, to drop the rematch. They’re now winless in four matchups all-time.

The lights appeared too bright for Jackson Arnold in his return to Norman. Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold passed for 220 yards and one touchdown. Jackson Arnold was sacked 10 times this game, often holding the ball for way too long and not deciding in time. 

The Auburn rushing attack was essentially non-existent throughout the game, minus a few breakaway plays. The Auburn offense rushed for a total of 67 yards. The Auburn offense came into this game averaging 242 rushing yards per game, but was completely bottled up by the Sooner defense. 

The Auburn defense played a great game, keeping the game tight throughout the contest, until the Sooners eventually put together a drive to take the lead with 4:54 left in the game. 

Cam Coleman was often the target for Arnold on deep passes in the first half, but fell rather quiet in the second half. Coleman scored a touchdown late in the first half to make the score 10-10 going into the halftime break. Coleman finished the game with three receptions for 88 yards and one touchdown.
