LIVE From Knoxville: THE RIVERSIDE Previews Tennessee vs Alabama at the Athletes First Tailgate

Mm.

It's football, and if you got QB questions, everyone's got answers.

[laughs] Everyone.

Um, everyone's got answers.

[laughs]

And I lived that life, too.

I, I did.

You would.

So, so, you know, we start the year off, Ta'Zhan Brandon, he wins the job in training camp, and he's playing pretty good, but we're not playing anybody, and he's young.

He just turned 18 years old.

He's a ta- he's a stud.

George McIntyre, neck and neck with him the whole time.

Never quit.

Kept battling, kept battling.

Got a big arm, all the things.

And, and I, I want your opinion here before we get into, to anything else from both of you guys.

'Cause I'm on record saying I don't have a problem with it.

You know, he gets a- an AC sprain on his throwing shoulder early in Texas.

Mm-hmm.

They take him in the tent and he says, "I wanna play." What do you say?

Let him play.

Let him play.

So he goes out there, plays the whole game.

Doesn't practice the next week against Auburn.

I think that's harder to do when you're young.

Mm.
