Thud. In terms of a debut, things really could not have gone much worse for former Tennessee football 5-star signee and standout quarterback Nico Iamaleava with UCLA. In front of a half-empty stadium, the Bruins were demolished at home by the Utah Utes.
The final score was 43-10, which no one expected. Iamaleava had his struggles on the night too, throwing for only 136 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He was 11-of-22 on his attempts, which was downright wild.
The main issue for Nico in this one? He continues to be inconsistent throwing the ball.
