During the recent game, the Volunteers managed to secure points following an interception in the end zone. Max Gilbert successfully kicked a 36-yard field goal with 6:39 remaining in the first half, bringing the score to 21-3.

Nico Iamaleava, the quarterback, completed three passes during a nine-play, 62-yard drive. However, controversy arose due to a questionable officiating call that advanced the Volunteers into the red zone.

What initially seemed like a potential interception by Ohio State turned into a gain for Tennessee after Kenyatta Jackson Jr. was penalized for roughing the passer. This turn of events allowed Tennessee to continue their offensive push.

Although the Volunteers did not secure a touchdown, they successfully added points to the scoreboard. Iamaleava's passing stats currently stand at three completions out of 10 attempts for 44 yards. Additionally, he has rushed seven times for a total of 15 yards.
