‘Didn’t play his best football’: Tennessee coach benched five-star freshman

During Saturday's college football matchup, Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel removed five-star freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon from the game before halftime following a difficult stretch where he completed three of eight passes for zero yards and an interception. Backup quarterback George MacIntyre entered the contest and provided an immediate offensive spark, completing eight of ten passes for 86 yards to help secure a 24-14 victory for the Volunteers over Auburn.

Following the contest, Heupel declined to name a definitive starter for the upcoming game against Arkansas, noting that both signal-callers will likely be utilized throughout the remainder of the season.
