After nonconference games against Temple, Houston and Tulane, Oklahoma will host Tennessee for its first-ever SEC game since joining the league on July 1.

Then the Sooners hit the road for their first-ever SEC road test: a trip to Auburn’s Jordan-Hare Stadium, which is often regarded as one of the most intimidating environments to play in the SEC — if not the entire country — and comes with plenty of lore.

Last year, in an interview with The Next Round, Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker said he heard some of his teammates saying that playing in Jordan-Hare Stadium gives Auburn players “superpowers.”

Now having to worry about playing a game at Auburn himself, Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold took it upon himself to pick the brain of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, whose first ever road start came last year during a visit to Jordan-Hare Stadium.

And while Arnold was likely hoping Beck would dispel some of the voodoo allegations, Georgia’s quarterback did the opposite.

“I’ve never been to the stadium before, but when I was in the Manning Passing Academy, I was talking to Carson Beck about it and he claimed the place was cursed,” Arnold said Tuesday during SEC Media Days in Dallas.

In Beck’s first visit to Auburn last fall, the Tigers nearly stunned the favored Bulldogs, who relied on a fourth-quarter comeback to narrowly escape Jordan-Hare with a 27-20 win.

Since that game late last September, Beck has lauded Auburn’s home venue on numerous occasions, including during his time at SEC Media Days on Tuesday.

“The atmosphere is insane, it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Beck said Tuesday.

Nonetheless, Beck’s warnings aside, Arnold is looking forward to Oklahoma’s visit to Auburn for what will be he and the Sooners’ first taste of playing on the road in the SEC.

“I’m really excited… first SEC away game, I grew up watching Georgia-Auburn games on TV, so I know how special that stadium is,” said Arnold, who grew up in Atlanta. “I’ve got friends that are Auburn fans and they tell me about it all the time, so pumped up for that game.”

Oklahoma and Auburn are set to square off on Sept. 28 for an afternoon kickoff.

“I wish they would get the night-version of Jordan-Hare,” Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze said of the Sooners earlier in July. “But Jordan-Hare will be rocking either way and I think they’ll enjoy that for sure.”

Echoing Freeze’s comments, Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables knows his team is in for a real treat come Week 5.

“They’re gonna be ready. I know that. The fans, the pageantry pregame, during the game, they’ve got a wonderful atmosphere,” Venables said Tuesday. “Tough, challenging, loud.”
