Claude Arnold, who quarterbacked OU's 1950 national championship team, died Friday night. He was 92.
Arnold, an Okmulgee native and World War II veteran, was a back-up to Jack Mitchell and Darrell Royal in Bud Wilkinson's first three seasons as Oklahoma's head coach.
Arnold took over the starting duties in 1950 and led the Sooners to a 10-0 regular season before a Sugar Bowl loss to Kentucky. He played in the Canadian Football League with the Edmonton Eskimos from 1952-54.
Arnold was a long-time Oklahoma City oil man.
