MacIntyre to Start for Tennessee vs. Arkansas as Brandon Recovers

Sophomore George MacIntyre will make his first career start for Tennessee against Arkansas on Saturday, replacing injured freshman Faizon Brandon. MacIntyre took over during Tennessee's 24-14 win over Auburn, completing 8 of 10 passes. Coach Josh Heupel confirmed Brandon is dealing with a shoulder injury that affected his performance, though it remains unclear if Brandon will return. MacIntyre has completed 70% of his passes this season without being sacked, while Brandon has struggled with decision-making and physical limitations in recent SEC games.
