KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee interim coach Brady Hoke said Wednesday that he would not commit to a starting quarterback for Saturday’s game with LSU.
Redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano became the starter in Game 6, against South Carolina. He didn’t play in last week’s loss at Missouri because of an ankle injury suffered in the previous week’s win over Southern Miss, but he’s “healthier than he was,” Hoke said.
The other possibility is true freshman Will McBride, who made his first college start last week against Missouri. The plan had been to redshirt McBride, but that went by the boards when Guarantano was hurt against Southern Miss.
