What Josh Heupel said about QB playing in Music City Bowl

NASHVILLE – Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel said there’s no predetermined plan for quarterback George MacIntyre to play against Illinois in the Music City Bowl.

Joey Aguilar will remain the starter in what’s likely his final UT game. MacIntyre, a freshman and former Brentwood Academy four-star standout, will serve as the backup.

“We’ll kind of see how the game unfolds and what the identity of the game is. There’s nothing where we plan on putting (MacIntyre) in on the second series or anything like that,” Heupel said on Dec. 29 at the bowl press conference at Opryland Hotel.
