Ohio State alum here. I watched several Tennessee games this season. IMHO, Nico Iamaleava isn't the problem going forward. That kid has heart and he's a competitor, attributes that can't be taught. He's a tough, shifty runner as he proved multiple times last night. He'll have had multiple games of starting experience by the beginning of the 2025 season, so the game should slow down. The CFP game experience should accelerate his development. Next season, he should be better & quicker at going through progressions. He'll be a more vocal leader. What he needs are difference makers at WR and better pass protection from the OL. Ohio State has elite WRs -- 2, possibly 4 future 1st round picks on the current roster. Will Howard just had to make sure he threw the ball on time/target and allowed the WRs to do their thing. Tennessee needs a few such players, which will really open up things on offense. WRs need to help out the QB by getting separation -- something that can be taught. Ohio State's Co-OC/WR coach Brian Hartline is the best in the business at developing WRs. Also, the Buckeyes weren't at all concerned with getting beat on deep passes last night; you need that threat to keep the opposing safeties honest. An elite TE (Brock Bowers, Tyler Warren) can help, too.
