Joey Aguilar in his first start as QB1 for the Tennessee Vols ended with a win, which is the most important stat that there is, however, Aguilar did put up some nice numbers.

16 completions on 28 attempts for 247-yards and three touchdowns were the final line for the new signal caller.

Just how good was this debut?

Austin would open the segment before going to the drawing board to disect the film.

"What is up, ladies and gentlemen? Welcome into The Film Guy Network on a fabulous Sunday afternoon here in the studio. Uh, I got another banger for you.... 'Hey, I told you so.' I told you Tennessee fans, I told you Joey Aguilar has a really good chance to be an improvement at the quarterback position, right? We talked about it all year last year on this channel. That quarterback was not processing. That quarterback was not going from this side of the field to that side of the field," as Austin opens up.

Below is the video in its entirety. Take the time to see what Brooks Austin had to say.
