Auburn University is managing $360 million in ongoing construction projects (covering current and upcoming plans) to upgrade campus facilities (the project list shows price tags).

Today, Auburn opens its SEC season at 2:30 p.m. CT against Oklahoma as the Tigers aim to overturn last season’s loss and quarterback Jackson Arnold returns to Oklahoma—a place that once marked a turning point in his career.

Coach Hugh Freeze said Auburn is ready for redemption, while Oklahoma faces the game with a revamped offense and a strong defense missing key defender Thomas.
