Tennessee football QB George MacIntyre leaves Texas A&M game after hard hit
Tennessee football quarterback George MacIntyre left the Texas A&M game after taking a hard hit in the third quarter.
During a third quarter matchup between Tennessee and Texas A&M, quarterback George MacIntyre suffered a potential injury after taking a strong hit. Texas A&M freshman safety Chance Collins tackled MacIntyre as he attempted to throw to Braylon Staley with 12:43 remaining in the quarter. MacIntyre managed to release the pass, but it traveled out of bounds.
The sophomore quarterback exited the field with Tennessee punting on fourth down, and he proceeded to the medical tent. MacIntyre returned to the field for the next Tennessee drive but was forced to return to the tent during Texas A&M's subsequent play. Wearing a knee brace upon his second return, MacIntyre did not re-enter the game on the following drive, and freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon took over.
Tennessee trailed Texas A&M 7-6 at Kyle Field when MacIntyre departed. Before the injury, MacIntyre had thrown for 109 yards on 17 completions out of 17 attempts during the game. His season record stands at 91 of 134 passes completed for 962 yards, including two touchdowns and three interceptions.
