Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze acted as if he was Jackson Arnold's knight in shining armor who saved the quarterback in distress from a crumbling kingdom in Oklahoma, but he actually just locked Arnold away in a tower with no way out to success.
During SEC Media Days this summer, Freeze and even OU head coach Brent Venables blamed Arnold's poor situation with the Sooners last season for his struggles in his first year as a starter. Even though Freeze pretended then to know exactly what Arnold needed to turn his career around, Freeze has actually just created an even worse environment for Arnold by his own doing.
