The gravity to win this season is clear as day for the Auburn Tigers, and more importantly, their head coach, Hugh Freeze, with his job most likely on the line. Their new QB from Oklahoma comes in bearing high hopes to make it work for Freeze.
There might still be odds stacked against him, though.
The most obvious concern is regarding his performance after his lackluster season as a first-time starter in Norman last year under Brent Venables. Given the weight of the expectations this season, analyst Greg McElroy believes there are chances of history repeating itself this season again given the weight of all the expectations from Arnold.
