00:00It is an SEC matchup and it's between two teams that

00:07desperately need it. Theme of this game, quarterback changes.

00:10First for Auburn, they go back to Peyton Thorne after a

00:15disastrous game last week for Hank Brown against Arkansas.

00:19Seven to thirteen, seventy-two yards, three INTs. He got

00:22yanked by Hugh Freeze. They went to Peyton Thorne. He

00:26provided a spark, yet albeit in a loss to the Razorbacks.

00:30For Oklahoma, Jackson Arnold, fourth-best quarterback

00:34recruit in the 2023 class, benched last week at Holmen

00:38Norman in the second quarterback against Tennessee,

00:41Michael Hawkins Jr., twentieth-best quarterback in

00:44the country in the 2024 class takes over. He also led some

00:48impetus behind that offense. He gets his first career start

00:52this week in Jordan Hare. Lacey, guys, you look at this

00:55game. Both teams, new quarterbacks kind of Peyton

00:58Thorne did start the year as the starter. Both teams

01:01desperately need it. It's basically a pick them on the

01:04money line. Minus 115 to Auburn, OU minus 104. Who gets

01:08this big win? Yeah, well, key is OU's top five receivers

01:12aren't gonna play in in this matchup. So, I think that's why

01:15you're seeing the line fluctuation. I'll just say this.

01:18You know, I know they lost last week but OU still showed

01:21mental resolve fighting back. Hawkins is a mobile guy. He did

01:25throw a touchdown. I think you'll get the most out of him

01:28in regards to this matchup. I believe in Brett Venables and

01:31that defense cap more than I buy into Hugh Freeze right now

01:34and I'll just say this. I've said this to the both of you.

01:37Hugh Freeze with Liberty, Malik Willis, Caden Salters, they

01:41are Jalen Millroe type of players. How does he have two

01:44guys that are completely stationary and Hank Brown and

01:48Peyton Thorne. That's not his offense and people are starting

01:51to get upset now in in Auburn. They're starting to, you know,

01:54call him out. That's not a good recipe. They'll get rid of him

01:58in in 2 years. Give me Oklahoma. You had some, you know,

02:02Twitter stuff going on as well. People are calling out Hugh

02:04Freeze. So, Peyton Thorne's gonna get the start here today

02:07cuz that was kind of the issue for me. Yeah. You know, the

02:09the uncertainty around both of these teams at the quarterback

02:11position. If it is Peyton Thorne, that would actually

02:14push me towards Auburn. Just the experience that he would

02:18have head to head over going tonight for Harris there and

02:22Oklahoma. The Jackson Arnold's obviously a disaster. So, I'm

02:25not telling you it's a downgrade. Yeah. But Peyton

02:28Thorne I think could be a steadying hand here. It's still

02:31tough to go to Auburn and grab a victory there and I do think

02:35we've seen from OU. Look, Tennessee's very good. That's

02:39also a team in OU that nearly lost the football game to a

02:41Houston team. That's a nightmare this season. I I lean

02:44on Auburn.
