Jaxson Moi shuts down Nico Iamaleava's weather excuse for playoff loss to Ohio State

Jaxson Moi isn't going to blame it on the weather.

The last thing any Vols fan wants to talk about is last year's 42-17 loss to Ohio State in the playoffs. It was a rough night. Give the Buckeyes credit, they were the better team.

It was also a cold night in Columbus, cold enough that former quarterback Nico Iamaleava said the cold weather was the reason for the lackluster performance from Tennessee.

But Moi doesn't want to hear it.

“Surprisingly, it does get pretty cold out here in Knoxville,” Moi said last week on the Paul Finebaum Show.
