Arizona (-2.5, 62) vs. Oklahoma
When the smoke clears in San Antonio, the Alamo will be remembered either for Jackson Arnold’s ascent as Oklahoma’s quarterback of the future or coach Jedd Fisch’s remarkable rebuilding job at Arizona.
Arnold is starting a new era at a program known for elite quarterbacks. Dillon Gabriel’s surprising announcement that he was ditching the Sooners and transferring to Oregon changed the complexion of this bowl game. It also changed the line. Oklahoma, which is now the underdog, opened as a 1-point favorite at DraftKings. The Sooners may still be in good hands. Arnold was a five-star recruit out of Denton, Texas, who posted a 28-3 record in two seasons. He passed for more than 7,000 yards with 67 touchdowns and rushed for 1,580 yards and 36 touchdowns. Yes, Arnold attempted only 24 passes this season for the Sooners, but he has reportedly looked sharp in bowl practices and is surrounded by optimism.
