Heupel ended his opening statement discussing Tennessee's quarterback competition in fall training camp between Joey Aguilar , Jake Merklinger and George MacIntyre .
"I know, when I open it up for questions, the first one will be about our quarterback situation, so I'm going to touch on that a little bit here as I get started," Heupel said. "We will have a competition at the quarterback position, three guys inside of that room, really proud of what they've done. Joey, since he got there in May, Merklinger and George MacIntyre, what those three guys have done since they've been on campus. They've taken the summer, developed relationships, rapport with the guys around them, their ability to compete in a positive way with each other in the meeting room and on the field. Their ability to have leadership traits and to continue to grow in that. I'm really excited about getting on the field with those guys.
"We've found a way to win with a lot of different quarterbacks throughout my career on the offensive side of the ball, and we're going to find a way to win with the guy that earns a starting spot as we go through training camp here in August."
