SEC Makes Big Nico Iamaleava Announcement Following Tennessee-Oklahoma Game
The No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers faced their toughest test of the season on Saturday, defeating the No. 15 Oklahoma Sooners 25-15 in Norman, Oklahoma. Freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava, in his first real challenge in a hostile environment, rose to the occasion despite making some poor decisions that went unnoticed.
On Monday, it was announced that Iamaleava had been named SEC Freshman of the Week, a decision that sparked some controversy given his somewhat lackluster performance. However, the key takeaway is that he still found a way to win, remaining undeterred by the criticism surrounding him.
Tennessee has now improved to No. 5 in the country as they enter a bye week before taking on the Arkansas Razorbacks in Week 6.
