Does the curse of the backup quarterback still haunt Kentucky? We’re about to find out. On3’s Chris Low is reporting that Auburn plans to start Stanford transfer Ashton Daniels over Jackson Arnold on Saturday. Daniels took over for Arnold last week vs. Arkansas and led the Tigers to their first SEC win.
According to Low, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze informed the team of the decision today. Arnold has started all eight games for the Tigers this season, but was benched in the second quarter of the Arkansas game after throwing a pick-six to give the Razorbacks a 21-10 lead.
