The Tennessee Volunteers head to Athens to faceoff with the Georgia Bulldogs. Here's how the latest injury to Nico Iamaleava impacts the contest.
The Tennessee Volunteers head to Athens, Georgia on Saturday night. They will faceoff against the Georgia Bulldogs as nearly a double-digit underdog according to the latest sportsbooks. It was a line that opened at 8.5-points in favor of the Bulldogs,Part of that line movement could be due in part to the injury Volunteers starting QB Nico Iamaleava sustained in their matchup agaisnt Mississippi State.
Sure, Tennessee fans would prefer a fully healthy Nico Iamaleava in this matchup, but this defense's performance this year in a vacuum have been extremely impressive. Georgia's offense has really struggled to protect the quarterback and the football over their SEC slate, and Saturday's matchup against James Pearce and the Tennessee front six isn't a breather by any stretch of the immagination.
