KNOXVILLE – The injury that knocked Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano out of Saturday’s game is not believed to be serious.

“No, he’ll be back,” coach Jeremy Pruitt said after his team’s 58-21 loss to top-ranked Alabama at Neyland Stadium.

Guarantano left the field in the second quarter with a collarbone injury after being leveled by Alabama’s Mack Wilson while unleashing a long completion to receiver Josh Palmer.

Backup quarterback Keller Chryst entered for Guarantano and engineered Tennessee’s only offensive scores of the day with a pair of second-quarter touchdown throws.

“Jarrett got hit I don’t know how many times, probably every time he threw the football,” Pruitt said. “Keller came in and made some good throws, so we just stayed with Keller.”
