Overview

• Both teams are unbeaten and ranked heading into Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. CT kickoff on ABC at Gaylord Family–Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
• Arnold, benched last season at Oklahoma before transferring, has opened 2025 efficiently at Auburn with nearly 70% passing, 501 yards, eight total touchdowns and no interceptions through three games.
• Oklahoma’s offense has surged under transfer quarterback John Mateer, who has 944 passing yards, five passing touchdowns, and four rushing scores in three games.
• The Sooners list notable absences up front, including a season-ending knee injury to center Troy Everett, and edge rusher R. Mason Thomas must sit the first half due to last week’s targeting ejection.
• Sportsbooks list Oklahoma by roughly 6.5 points with a total near 48–48.5, and last year’s 27-21 Sooners comeback over Auburn remains a backdrop to this rematch.
