After quarterback Dillon Gabriel transferred to Oregon, the Oklahoma Sooners needed a new starter for Thursday night's Valero Alamo Bowl.
Good thing they had 5-star true freshman Jackson Arnold waiting in the wings.
Arnold threw for 339 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in the Sooners' 38-24 loss to the Arizona Wildcats.
The freshman's debut was highlighted by a 63-yard score in the third quarter.

But his start was marred by three interceptions, in addition to a turnover that was initially called an interception but eventually ruled a fumble.
