Head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/hugh-freeze-134705\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hugh Freeze<\/a> said earlier this week that he was re-evaluating the quarterback situation.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers are 3-4 overall and 0-4 in the SEC, and have struggled offensively in the second half in losses to Georgia and Missouri. Auburn gave Arnold and backup quarterback Ashton Daniels reps with the first team this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, we\u2019re looking at everything,\u201d Freeze said of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/auburn-tigers\/category\/football\/news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">personnel changes on offense<\/a> earlier this week. \u201cYou have to start looking when, as well as Jackson, played in the first half of the last two games, you still have to start looking at everything of, alright, why do we\u00a0not have the winning ways, and,\u00a0sitting here, feeling like we do? We\u2019re going to get (Jackson) and Ashton a lot of reps, and kind of see where it goes from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arnold has thrown for 1,190 yards on the season with five touchdowns and an interception. He\u2019s also rushed for 261 yards with seven touchdowns. The Oklahoma transfer finished with 207 yards on 18 of 30 passing against Missouri. It was the second consecutive game he led Auburn\u2019s offense to a score on its opening drive. <\/p>\n<p>Freeze did not rule out the possibility of switching quarterbacks against Arkansas if Arnold does not start well. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee how it plays out,\u201d Freeze said. \u201cWe started out really, really well in the last few games and hope that continues to be the case. But I did think if we start to sputter, we\u2019ve got to see if we can get a spark. That\u2019s kind of the mentality of where we\u2019re at. I know that they\u2019re ready, [Ashton Daniels] and [Deuce Knight].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Auburn visits Arkansas on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled on Saturday at 12:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Auburn is expected to start Jackson Arnold at quarterback at Arkansas on Saturday, sources tell On3.
