Will Josh Heupel, Tennessee football regret not signing transfer QB? | Adams

At the midpoint of the season, Tennessee holds a 5-1 record, relying heavily on a strong defense, running back DeSean Bishop, and a manageable schedule despite struggling through one of the country's least productive passing attacks. Coach Josh Heupel attempted to bolster the quarterback room via the transfer portal by pursuing Sam Leavitt, Beau Pribula, and Ty Simpson, but ultimately had to rely on inexperienced options Faizon Brandon and George MacIntyre.

Brandon won the preseason job but struggled against Texas and Auburn before suffering a shoulder injury, allowing MacIntyre to step in and guide the team past Auburn and Arkansas. The Volunteers now prepare for a matchup against Alabama at Neyland Stadium, where they currently sit as seven-point underdogs while striving to secure a spot in the College Playoff.
