Brandon, a true freshman and former five-star, won the job over rising 2nd year legacy QB George Macintyre.

this has been the expected slotting for a few months now but is now official

A look at the Tennessee schedule before Texas comes to Knoxville. 
 

GT in Atlanta is the only somewhat challenge. I like Brent Key a lot but don’t know how competitive you can expect them to be with Haynes King gone, Buster Faulkner gone, and several other staffers like Gideon.

Faizon Brandon’s official list of finalists consisted of Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, and NC State.  Brandon will play Alabama and LSU this season in Knoxville

QB Brandon is a terrific dual-threat talent but zero experience at this level. 

Glad we are playing the true freshman QB in game 1 of SEC play.

Muschamp will have a plan to confuse him, keep him bottled up and attack him when the situations arise. Muschamp at Florida did a masterful job in the 2nd half vs A&M Manziel.

FL 20 and A&M 17 (5 punts, 1 Fumble 0 pts by A&M in 2nd half)

Agreed. Not that any QB on that roster scares me but playing a true freshman to start off SEC play, and a day game, makes me feel better about it.
