Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said a veteran presence is important for quarterback Nico Iamaleava this season.
Week one of college football has finally arrived and the Tennessee Volunteers will get their season kicked off this week against Chattanooga. This is a highly anticipated season for the Volunteers as quarterback Nico Iamaleava will be the program's full-time starter for the first time in his career. Head coach Josh Heupel spoke to the media on Monday to preview week one and he spoke of what is needed out of his team to help his quarterback.
"Guys around him need to play at a high level," Heupel said. "That can be the offensive line in pass protection, the run game, skill guys being where they need to be. It all ties in together." The Volunteers have a lot of experienced college players on their roster and they will need to lean on them this season for Iamaleava to reach his full potential in year one as the starter. The former five-star looked impressive in his start against Iowa in the Citrus bowl, and the expectation is that he will only build off of that and improve upon that this season., the line is currently set at Tennessee points with a total set at 56.5 points. Initially, the line was set at 41.5 points.
