A decision has been made on Rocky Top, Tennessee is sticking with Jarrett Guarantano.

Jeremy Pruitt announced the news leading up to the Alabama game.

This decision comes after Guarantano threw two pick six interceptions last week against Kentucky. The Tennessee quarterback finished the game with 88 passing yards and three turnovers.

There will be no change at the starting quarterback position for the Volunteers heading into the Alabama game but that doesn’t mean Tennessee fans shouldn’t expect to see multiple signal-callers see the field for the team on Saturday.

Freshman Harrison Bailey is expected to see the field after getting additional reps in practice this week on Rocky Top.

Tennessee is a 21-point underdog against Alabama. The game will be broadcast nationally by CBS at 3:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CT.
