7 Tennessee football takeaways from win over Auburn with QB George MacIntyre
No. 17 Tennessee made a quarterback change from Faizon Brandon to George MacIntyre in time to beat Auburn on Oct. 3. Here the key takeaways.
Tennessee football secured a 24-14 victory over Auburn on October 3 at Neyland Stadium, marking their first home win over the Tigers since 1999. Freshman quarterback George MacIntyre replaced injured starting QB Faizon Brandon in the second quarter, and his 86-yard passing performance helped revitalize the offense. DeSean Bishop rushed for a career-high 220 yards and three touchdowns on 34 carries, while Tennessee's defense shone, leading the nation in sacks and contributing to three critical stops.
Brandon's interception set up Auburn's lone touchdown, but it was too little too late as the Vols (4-1, 1-1 SEC) now own a 23-29-3 all-time series advantage over Auburn.
