Jackson Arnold's 3 INTs Concerns Oklahoma Fans After 2023 Alamo Bowl Loss to Arizona

After quarterback Dillon Gabriel transferred to Oregon, the Oklahoma Sooners needed a new starter for Thursday night's Valero Alamo Bowl.

Good thing they had 5-star true freshman Jackson Arnold waiting in the wings.

Arnold threw for 339 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the Sooners' 38-24 loss to the Arizona Wildcats.

The freshman's debut was highlighted by a 63-yard score in the third quarter.

But his start was marred by three interceptions, in addition to a turnover that was initially called an interception but eventually ruled a fumble.

Some college football fans watching the bowl game were still impressed by the potential Arnold showed when his passes connected.

Between Arnold's debut and Kansas State winning the Pop-Tarts Bowl over NC State behind another true freshman in Avery Johnson, Thursday night left fans excited for the future of the sport.

Oklahoma will now prepare to begin to Arnold era in earnest with a move to the SEC after the school's exit from the Big 12 becomes official on July 1.
