Tennessee Lists Faizon Brandon Questionable, MacIntyre Expected to Make First Start at Arkansas

Overview

• The Week 6 game is set for Saturday at 4:15 p.m. EDT at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and will air on the SEC Network with Matt Schumacker, Aaron Murray and Taylor Davis on the call.
• Tennessee freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon is listed as questionable on the SEC injury report after a shoulder issue suffered Sept. 26 and he remains on the team’s Thursday availability list.
• Sophomore George MacIntyre is expected to make his first career start if Brandon cannot play; MacIntyre relieved Brandon in Week 5 and completed 8-of-10 passes for 86 yards.
• Betting markets list Tennessee about a 13.5-point favorite and Arkansas is seeking to snap a reported 13-game SEC losing streak while Tennessee leads the series 14-7 and has not won in Fayetteville since 2001.
• Tennessee announced it will wear its road whites for the game, the forecast calls for sunny, warm conditions, and the SEC’s mandatory injury-report rule is the source of Brandon’s public ‘questionable’ designation.
