Pruitt talks quarterback plan ahead of Mississippi State

It took about 30 minutes of game play for Tennessee’s quarterback battle to be settled, if you ask most fans. True freshman Brian Maurer delivered a strike to Marquez Callaway to tie the third-ranked Georgia Bulldogs, igniting Neyland Stadium for the next hour or so.

Maurer backed that throw up with a beatiful drive right down the field, leading the Volunteers to a 14-10 lead over Georgia. Of course, that lead didn’t last. Georgia’s talent took over from there as the Bulldogs clamped down a dominated on both sides of the ball from there.
