Tennessee starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava suffered an upper body injury in the second quarter against Mississippi State on Saturday and has been ruled out for the second half of the contest.
The Volunteers led the Bulldogs 20–7 at the half, and Iamaleava was 8-of-13 passing for 174 yards and two touchdowns. He also had four carries for 22 yards on the ground. Iamaleava was replaced by senior Gaston Moore under center, a career backup who has attempted just 34 collegiate passes.
