By certain criteria, Tennessee had a poor season. Even so, they concluded the season with a 9-4 record and a commanding victory in the Cheez-It Citrous Bowl over the 17th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. The Vols were still a popular issue even though rookie quarterback Nico Iamaleava attracted a lot of attention to the team during the bowl game, according to Front Office Sports.
Josh Heupel, the head coach of Tennessee, keeps drawing attention to the Vols across the country. In Knoxville, Tennessee, they have persisted in building a robust culture and are approaching a critical two-year period. They have laid the groundwork, groomed some of the players on the coaching staff, and done a great job recruiting. Tennessee is aiming to qualify for the College Football Playoff for the first time since it was founded, as the competition will have twelve teams subsequent to its inception.
Five-star rookie quarterback Nico Iamaleava of the Tennessee Volunteers did not play much this season because he was behind starter Joe Milton. However, he is expected to be prepared for his new position as the team’s starting quarterback in the upcoming season.
Iamaleava expressed his excitement during a recent news conference about being able to take over as the team’s main quarterback this season.
According to On3, Nico Iamaleava exclaimed, “I’m really excited, man.” “We have a fantastic coaching staff and a wonderful squad surrounding us, and I truly believe this club can do anything. It is our responsibility to go forward and complete it.
After Milton decided to sit out the Citrous Bowl in order to focus on getting ready for the NFL Draft, Iamaleava was able to make his first start against the Iowa Hawkeyes, and he was excited about the possibility.
Iamaleava said, “Man, it felt great.” “To play the entire game at last. It was fantastic to get back out there and get my feet wet because I haven’t done that in a long.
The club will surely be hoping that Iamaleava’s commanding 35-0 victory over Iowa is a taste of what he can do in his senior year.
