Tennessee football is two days into its spring practice. That also means the Vols have had two practices to look at their quarterbacks as a battle rages on.
The job is up to redshirt-freshman George MacIntyre, true freshman Faizon Brandon and Colorado transfer Ryan Staub. Mason Phillips is also there to fill out the room as the presumed fourth-string option.
After the first day, Vols head coach Josh Heupel met with the media and gave his thoughts.
“They’ve had a good winter with the introduction of some of the things that we’re doing offensively,” Heupel said on Monday. “George obviously has more time on task with the general basis of what we’re doing. But as those guys have come into the program, gaining an understanding of what we’re doing, the communication, how they’re calling protections, adjusting protections, our run-game rules, being able to control everything that we’re doing.
“And then starting to master what’s going on on the back end, from the defensive structures as well. And ultimately become a guy that is playing extremely efficiently. Starts with their eyes, being able to see things, work through the progression, then the fundamentals and the technique to deliver the ball consistently and accurately. That guy has got to play on edge. He’s got to go make plays, um, but he’s also got to take care of the football.”
