Tennessee’s two preseason football scrimmages are in the books.

Now, decision day looms in terms of the new starting quarterback of the Volunteers.

Sixth-year Vols coach Josh Heupel did not reveal his pick between sophomore George MacIntrye and freshman Faizon Brandon after Saturday morning’s second scrimmage inside Neyland Stadium, nor did he announce any timetable. The next time Vols players are in Neyland, they will be accompanied by nearly 102,000 fans for the Sept. 5 season opener against Furman.

“You evaluate where they’re at and who’s earned it and what you think is best holistically for that position group,” Heupel said in a news conference.

The Vols are off Sunday and are scheduled to resume practices Monday.
