George MacIntyre will start for Tennessee at Arkansas

Tennessee quarterback George MacIntyre is expected to start at Arkansas.

In Week 6, Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) is scheduled to face Arkansas (2-3, 0-2 SEC) at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with kickoff at 4:15 p.m. EDT. ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that sophomore quarterback George MacIntyre will make his first career start against the Razorbacks.

Brandon (No. 90 nationally with a 48.2 QBR in five starts) has faced a shoulder injury from their previous game against Texas. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 225 pounds, the freshman has contributed 130 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 53 attempts.

MacIntyre took over the starting role in the second quarter of Tennessee's Week 5 game against Auburn, completing 8-of-10 passes for 86 yards.
