Bishop rushes for 220 yards, 3 TDs to lead No. 17 Tennessee over Auburn 24-14

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- , DeSean Bishop rushed for a career-high 220 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 17 Tennessee to a 24-14 victory over Auburn on Saturday. Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 in Southeastern Conference) overcame a sluggish start with the help of George MacIntyre replacing Faizon Brandon at quarterback late in the second quarter. The Volunteers trailed 7-3 at halftime. MacIntyre completed his first six pass attempts for 80 yards and finished 8 of 10 for 86 yards. “(Coming off the bench midgame) is the hardest thing to do,” said Tennessee coach Josh Heupel. “We rep our (second-teamers in practice) a bunch. That helps in their preparation.” “Man, (MacIntyre) was as efficient as you can imagine,” said Auburn coach Alex Golesh, who had been an offensive coordinator for Heupel. “I thought he operated well.” Bishop's 34 carries was a rare stat in the Heupel regime.
