  "account": "Tennessee is set to begin freshman quarterback George MacIntyre in Saturday's game against Arkansas, according to recent reports from Pete Nakos and Chris Low. This marks MacIntyre's first career start, following his relief appearance in the previous game against Auburn. MacIntyre went 8-10 for 86 yards during his brief time at the helm, showing improvement over redshirt freshman Faizon Brandon. Heupel acknowledged that injuries played a role in Brandon's performance against Auburn, as he suffered a shoulder injury that forced him to exit the game. With Brandon's struggles persisting, MacIntyre has now been given the opportunity to lead the team. The former Brentwood Academy standout will face a struggling Arkansas team, with the potential to become the starting quarterback in preparation for Alabama's upcoming visit to Nashville.",
