Nico Iamaleava, at least for today, is indeed the Prince that was Promised.
Iamaleava accounted for all four of UT’s TDs, rushing for three and throwing for a fourth.
The game sorta played out differently than most expected, with Iowa’s offense having no answer for Tennessee’s defense. The Vols accumulated 383 yards — 256 of which came on the ground — and had 25 first downs on 74 total plays. UT turned the Hawkeyes over three times — including a James Pearce pick-six — sacked the Iowa QBs five times, had eight TFLs and five pass breakups on the way to a 35-0 shutout of the nation’s No.
