Nico Iamaleava had the worst UCLA debut imaginable while Vols fans were sleeping

The Joey Aguilar debut for Tennessee football quite literally could not have gone much better. He tossed for 247 yards and three touchdowns, powering the Vols to a 45-26 win. On the other side of the 'QB trade' from this offseason, things went worse than anyone could have imagined for UCLA.

Nico Iamaleava, the former 5-star Tennessee signee, took the field for his first Bruins start and the hype was through the roof for him going up against Utah. Iamaleava missed several throws, including his first deep one. Had he put the ball where it needed to be, it would have been six for UCLA.
