"Mike will have his opportunity to run out there and be our guy and see where we're at and try to give us a kick start," Venables said on "Sooner Sports Talk," his coaches show.

Hawkins replaced Arnold in the second quarter of Oklahoma's 25-15 loss to Tennessee in Norman on Saturday night after Arnold started 7-of-16 for 54 yards with two lost fumbles and an interception. Oklahoma failed to score a touchdown in the first half at home for the first time since a 30-13 loss to Notre Dame in 2012, according to ESPN Research.

Hawkins, a 6-foot-1, 196-pound true freshman from Frisco, Texas, finished 11-of-18 for 132 yards and a touchdown and added 22 rushing yards.
