NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Just a month ago, the long-awaited Jackson Arnold era was underway at Oklahoma. The highly touted quarterback seemed ready to take his place among the greats at a school that has produced four Heisman winners this century at the position. Now, he’s fighting for his job. Michael Hawkins Jr. sparked the Sooners in the second half of their 25-15 loss to Tennessee, and now coach Brent Venables has declared the position open heading into Saturday’s game at Auburn.
