Just a month ago, the long-awaited Jackson Arnold era was underway at Oklahoma. The highly touted quarterback seemed ready to take his place among the greats at a school that has produced four Heisman winners this century at the position.

Oklahoma couldn’t recover from a poor offensive showing in the first half in their loss to Tennessee and here’s how social media reacted.

Oklahoma has some serious questions to figure out on offense. The No. 15 Sooners were embarrassed 25-15 at home by No. 6 Tennessee in OU’s first SEC game. The Volunteers controlled the game from the start as Oklahoma’s offense was so bad that Jackson Arnold got benched for true freshman Michael Hawkins.

With Saturday’s win, the Vols beat their first top-15 opponent on the road since 2006, and while folks keep wanting this team to be like the 2022 team, this game really showed that the defense is capable of being the backbone of the squad.

What was a big-time matchup between a pair of top-15 teams fizzled in the first half when Oklahoma’s offense couldn’t muster more than three points. Turnovers and inconsistent play from Jackson Arnold led to a 19-3 deficit at halftime. Arnold was benched just before halftime in favor of true freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins.

College football fans are getting ready for the University of Oklahoma's first ever SEC game against the Tennessee Volunteers tomorrow night.
