Tennessee Quarterback Struggles In Game Against Columbus

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava faced a challenging start in the Volunteers' game, as he had to switch to a new helmet for the team's second drive after his original one got cracked during the opening drive. Unfortunately, the change in headgear did not bring about a change in fortune for Iamaleava, as he was sacked during the drive, much to the dismay of the crowd in Columbus.

Struggling to find his rhythm, Iamaleava has yet to complete a pass, contributing to another three-and-out for the Volunteers. The team's offensive woes were further highlighted by their total yardage, which stood at a dismal -18 yards.
