In this morning’s SEC Nation edition of ESPN, Tim Tebow called on Tennessee to leave Guarantano as starting quarterback

“You have to find a quarterback because that’s the position that keeps everyone in the rest of the pack, offense, defense, special teams – better or worse,” Tebow said. “Right now , from second to fourth quarter last week, they were demoralized This Tennessee team couldn’t have played worse because of how the quarterback handled this game You can find another guy who can do let everyone play better and give you a chance in the big game Right now, in the big game, they were unlucky That’s why they have to make a change «

Palmer has played his entire career with 29-game starter Jarrett Guarantano and knows the fifth-year senior better than anyone, and he has said he’s tried to relieve Guarantano following back-to-back sixth caps. he had launched who turned the tide of Kentucky’s game against the Flights
