Tennessee will give the keys to true freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava for his first career start as a Volunteer. He will be taking on a top 5-10 defense in the nation, as the Iowa Hawkeyes have been dominant all season. The Hawkeyes will also be without some guys due to injuries, opt-outs, and transfers.

- Joe Labas

Watching how this matchup plays out as Iamaleava and the Volunteers look to start 2024 on the right path and slingshot themselves into the new season will be interesting. Iamaleava will undoubtedly be tested by this Iowa defense, which will be a good starting point for his career as he attempts to knock off the Hawkeyes.
