Tennessee vs Alabama Film Study: NICO IAMALEAVA is legendary! + HOW JAMES PEARCE stops JALEN MILROE!

[@KornPop96]

Nico is still young. He'll get better with experience. I'm thrilled we have him for 2 more years!

1.5* If he gets better like we think he will this season and next he will be in the NFL in 2026

If Nico can get on the same page as the receivers, Tennessee will be unstoppable.

[@ctbspiffy423]

Nico is legendary in the making you can see it he’s pouring with talent just has to keep unraveling it !! Good take

[@browning7750]

From a lifetime Bamar, Nico's ceiling is in another atmosphere! He started off full of adrenaline and was once again missing long, but he settled in and made the plays and outplayed the opposing upperclassman by far. This game is summed up by horrible play by the Bama signal caller, undisciplined, non-fundamental UA football, solid play by the UT defense , and the UT offense settling in and scoring 24 in the 2nd half to take it to the Tide. I was so hoping that CKD would bring Tenn. native Ty Simpson into the 3rd qtr but NOPE! Now where do we go from here?... I said Bama would be 9-3 this season, but now it appears the slide down may be even further. Congrats to the big orange on a great win! RTR for life.

[@IIISWILIII]

That jump Pierce made on Bama's final Drive might land him top 10 in the draft pick

[@1stofer]

He's already projected top 5 , some have picked him to go number 1.

[@chacaabbaylee768]

He's gotta finish strong. I want him to stay another year and secure a top pick

[@OrangeSmoky]

@@chacaabbaylee768 He's never going to stay another year. Scouts aren't looking at numbers, they are seeing how massively he is affecting the game. He's putting pressure on QB's nearly every single play. Dude will be a top pick in the draft next year, no way he ever comes back.

[@brandeestinnett6523]

Pearce is gone after this year, and as much as I’d love him to stay, he should absolutely go….that kid should NOT risk an injury because he’s going to have a crazy long career on Sundays

[@1stofer]

@@chacaabbaylee768 that's definitely not going to happen. He's a top first round pick right now so staying another year and risking injury just to move up a spot or 3 isn't worth the risk at all. If they paid him 10 million in NIL money maybe but don't see that happening either , he needs the big signing bonus and multi yr guaranteed money contract that being a high first round pick will give him.

[@CalebFrmDa615]

the growth Nico continues to show after each game really gives me confidence that the Vols have what it takes to beat Georgia

[@joshuawhite7515]

No, we don't. Not yet. Especially in Athens. Georgia will beat us this year. We don't even need to worry about georgia right now. Kentucky, Vandy and Miss State will be toss up games.

Tennessee Defensive backfield was totally revamped...half of those playing are transfers. Look like its working out well for them. And a walk-on thats all over the football field.

[@zambachoo]

If you go, make it a whole thing. I’d get a cabin in Sevierville, if the game is late get there before 10 and bring a rolling cooler. Participate in activities, have a Vols jersey on, and just keep saying go Vols and be friendly and you’ll have the time of your life. Then the rest of the week go to the smokys and check out Cades cove and spend a few days exploring there, and then obviously relax a few days at the cabin with some good food and then run around in gatlinburg pigeon forge sevierville the rest of the time. There’s neat things to do other than the tourist traps but those are fun too 😂😂😂

[@powerhoursec]

A CABIN?!

NCAA is going to protect huge games like this that produce viewership ratings. You dont have to worry about this game going anywhere. I havent seen the ratings this year but historically this game is top 20 most watched any sports event in the nation.

[@topmech71]

He can throw that ball...like Joe Milton. If he could just tame that arm a little bit he had open receiver's on go routes all day.

[@rhettpatton6380]

You didn’t watch the whole game if you think Nico was the best QB this week he made amazing plays but really bad ones too

[@Kevinyaheard]

What are the chances we beat everybody but Georgia? I just don't see us beating them away, Nico would have to ball out.

[@johnbyington3458]

It appeared to me that when Nico had all day to throw, he over-threw by 20 yards. When Nico was on the move he was fairly accurate.

[@Servingemanualcouragously]

20 yards? It was 2 yards

[@johnbyington3458]

@@Servingemanualcouragously There was one pass and I don't remember the quarter and time, but it reminiscent of Joe Milton over-throws. It was at least 20 yards past everyone. Even the outfielder safety watched it go over his head. Maybe Nico was throwing it away, but the receiver had a step and it was down the middle of the field. Yep, there were a few the were only a couple of yards.

[@topmech71]

James Pearce was probably just in the neutral zone and got away with it. In real time it was hard to see but I just knew they were gonna throw that flag but never did, could've of went either way

Another bye week, and then Ky and Miss St., so expect those games to be where Nico begins to see the developing plays better, having a bit more confidence in the O-line. Georgia will be interesting , but honestly, I would take a 9-7 win from that right now. G B O !!!!

[@MultiKen86]

@7:24 you can’t ignore the egregious holding from the Tennessee lineman. Chances are that tackle would have been made. Refs made a lot of bad calls in this game, that pass interference against Williams is the difference in winning and losing. Ignoring the offsetting penalties in favor of just penalizing Bama on the final drive coupled with ignoring that offsides. You’re talking about a completely different outcome. Tennessee will likely loose two more games. I wouldn’t jump on their wagon just yet. This is an outstanding breakdown but I don’t think it shows their best players in this game, they are the ones wearing the black and white stripes.

Who was the hold on? 74?

[@mouthy_maestrod2992]

So i watched that close to goalline pick where his arm got hit multiple times, and i really think he was either trying to pump fake and run, or possibly just waiting to be sure he wanted to throw the ball away because if you track where his arm is when he is throwing it in the closeup replay, the ball clearly comes out in an unintended direction. It was obviously a mistake to hold the ball that long if you were gonna throw it away, but i dont think he was trying to force that touchdown pass

[@capamerica13]

The title and the comment at 11:29 tells me you really do not have unbiased film study lol If you do a frame by frame of Pearce on that line, his head is in the neutral zone with the ball, which according to NCAA rules, should have been a flag. Even though you won't admit it, this film study sounds VERY biased and that comment at that moment is clear of that. Everyone else talking about film on this objectively have all said the opposite lol

[@powerhoursec]

Biased against who?

[@grayirishgalt]

Nico looks like he plays video games and smokes pot too much and needs some Manning level obsessiveness in the film room

[@powerhoursec]

Hmmm what makes you think he does that?

[@grayirishgalt]

@@powerhoursec Call it a hunch. Probably projection because it’s what I did there thirty years ago. Another hunch is that he thought he would talent his way through the SEC and he’s spent the last three weeks adjusting to reality. Getting hit in the mouth will do that.

legendary? what are you smoking?

I think nicos been shook up since the ou game he's worried about taking a sack mid throw an losing the ball so he stares down his first read to get rid of it quick and he doesn't get his feet set cuz he's so worried about getting sacked and thats all on the o line when he's had games where he didn't have to worry about sacks he's looked amazing

Made some big plays when it mattered. But yes, so early misses and mistakes hurt

[@joshuawhite7515]

I love me some Nico... but he keeos making dumb mistakes. The same ones. He will throw to covered recievers when he has a wide open one that he never looked at..and he overthrows wide open receivers that would have gone for a TD or huge gain. Idk, tho. That interception where he was throwing to a reciever that wasn't even open was horrible. He should know better than that on instinct.

[@powerhoursec]

Nah you are right. He made some clutch plays to win this one

[@JamesSmith-xn5zb]

Nico play like dog crap he hit 2 or 3 big plays in second half to pull it out. Dont talk about the rest of the game over throws wide, open, wrs down behind the dbs over throws dude down the field dead center of the field. He played like garbage . Can he be great absolutely but by the end of the year if hes still doing that at he will be a issue but has work to do
