KNOXVILLE – At his news conference Wednesday, interim Tennessee football coach Brady Hoke was asked about the team’s two quarterbacks – freshman Will McBride and redshirt freshman Jarrett Guarantano.
Hoke answered by talking about his defensive ends.
The Volunteers and Hoke are giving nothing away regarding which quarterback will start Saturday night when Tennessee hosts LSU. However, Hoke did mention that Guarantano was healthier than he has been.
“I will tell you both quarterbacks were at practice yesterday, and having Jarrett healthier than he was is a plus,” Hoke said.
Guarantano sat out this past Saturday’s loss at Missouri with an ankle injury that occurred during the first half of a home win against Southern Mississippi game the week before. McBride started and played all of last week’s game, finishing 16-of-32 passing for 139 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.
