Head coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels are coming off a bye. At the onset of the week, OU fired offensive coordinator Seth Littrell.

South Carolina is a traditional SEC doormat and a team that nearly upset both LSU and Alabama this year. However, they came into town for the first time with a 1-3 conference record. Yet USC shocked the Sooners and a whited-out crowd of 83,331 at Owen Field. Consider that this was supposed to be the easiest SEC game on a demanding OU schedule. Instead, it was a blaring alarm for the Sooners’ proud football program.
Freshman quarterback Michael Hawkins’ first snap was intercepted, and the Gamecocks quickly made it 7-0. Next, Hawkins fumbled, and USC made it 14-0 on a 36-yard fumble return. Subsequently, Hawkins then threw another interception — to the same South Carolina safety — who ran it back 65 yards for a touchdown. In less than five minutes and nine total offensive snaps, the Sooners were down 21-0.
As a result, that brought on Jackson Arnold, the erstwhile starter who came in and didn’t fare much better. It was Arnold’s fifth game of the season, meaning he’s ineligible to take a redshirt. Now that completely opens the quarterback competition. Head coach Brent Venables has been saying he needed to see Hawkins’ full body of work, but against the Gamecocks, that body was cold and lifeless.
