Nico Iamaleava explains final play against Arkansas

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava reacts to the team's loss on the road to Arkansas and why the final play of the game fell apart.

One thing for sure, Nico doesn't have to worry about the Heisman anymore this year.

It shouldn't have been a conversation. He hasn't played enough to have been considered.

It was a stupid conversation to even have for freshman who hasn't hardly played

[@gwhite7136]

While it shouldn't be a conversation, one game does not kill your chances of being a candidate. How many losses did LSU have last year? And no, he's not throwing nearly as well as Daniels for the last two games. It might shock everyone that a QB might not win the Heisman this year lol. You go out and put up video game numbers against teams like Bama, UGA and well now Vandy, sure could be a finalist. He should just concentrate on improvement.

Stuff happens and then you move on to the next opponent, ideally learning from your mistakes along the way. The signs have been there as far back as NC State, but our outstanding defensive play had been lightening the load up until now. No turnovers vs. Arkansas. Far too many penalties. It also doesn't help Nico's case that the OL is getting banged up... and now so are his WRs. In a perfect world, last Saturday doesn't happen. We don't live in that perfect world. But now's not the time to nuke the team or the coaching staff. Not unless we want to go back to where we were before Coach Heupel came here. We also don't need to be thinking about how badly we might lose certain games down the road. All that matters right now is Florida.

"Any big play we had, it was a penalty" That isn't true. Tennessee had plenty of big plays that were not penalties.

Should’ve been a 50/50 ball thrown. Anything but running out of bounds

[@Godscountry-v4x]

He got pushed out. Thats what happened

[@billycain9890]

Maybe he's just not as good as we thought or expected I think he still can be but it might be next season before he shows his true potential when the offensive line holds up he does look better and they haven't held up against a good defensive front like Oklahoma and Arkansas had.

[@gwhite7136]

I think what he's being coached, might be going against his natural take off and run clock. This is not the same running QB as we saw in the Iowa game.

[@jeremydeaderick1324]

Guy chokes every time he’s under pressure. Holds the ball to long instead of running or hitting his check down .

[@TheMessersmiths]

total fraud.....maybe he shouldve worn those glasses during the game to see what the hell was going on
