Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 53m1 min read

What happened: George MacIntyre will make his first career start when Tennessee visits Arkansas on Oct. 10. The sophomore entered in the second quarter of the 24-14 win over Auburn on Oct. 3. Kickoff in Fayetteville is set for 4:15 p.m. ET on SEC Network.

Why it matters: Tennessee is 4-1 and 1-1 in the SEC entering its first conference road game. The offense stalled before the switch against Auburn. MacIntyre steadied the passing game to open rushing lanes in the second half.

By the numbers: Tennessee is 4-1, 1-1 SEC; Arkansas is 2-3, 0-2 SEC. MacIntyre is 14-of-20 for 148 yards and one touchdown with no sacks taken, including 8-of-10 for 86 yards against Auburn. Faizon Brandon is 61-of-101 for 697 yards, seven touchdowns and one interception with 130 rushing yards.

What to watch: Tennessee faces Arkansas in Fayetteville on Oct. 10. The SEC availability report due Oct. 7 should clarify the quarterback depth chart.
