With Jackson Arnold failing to be the quarterback that Auburn thought he would be when he came over from Oklahoma, Hugh Freeze made a crucial decision in Saturday's victory over Arkansas: bench Arnold and insert Ashton Daniels into the quarterback position.
The question some people have is why Daniels, the transfer from Stanford, and not the highly touted freshman signee Deuce Knight, entered the game. The Auburn coach spoke on that decision on Monday and was extremely clear that Knight might not be ready to take over yet.
"I don’t know that it’s fair to throw him in that right now," Freeze said.
