Things went very differently for Tennessee's current and former starting quarterbacks on Saturday. Joey Aguilar had a good debut in the Vols' opener against Syracuse, which Tennessee won 45-26.

Things went very much the opposite for former UT QB Nico Iamaleava in Pasadena in his debut with the UCLA Bruins. The Utah Utes blew the doors off of the Bruins in the Rose Bowl 43-10, and the struggle on the field reflected every bit of that lopsided scoreline. Iamaleava was 11/22 passing for 136 yards with a touchdown and interception. He also ran 13 times for 47 yards.


Iamaleava has become a lightning rod of controversy and commentary on social media, even as he took the field for the Bruins across the country. That includes comments from former players like ex-Tennessee WR Da'Rick Rogers, who claims he knew when Iamaleava was "hot garbage" before he even arrived in Knoxville.




First I heard about this.

Was Da’Rick a fit whenever he continually got popped for failed drug tests? I love him as a player but he ruined that season where we would’ve had a three headed monster with Hunter and Patterson. Could’ve scored 50 points per game but he couldn’t stay off the weed for a few months. He is the last person to speak on mentality whenever he did not have a “team first” mentality to begin with.

The glorious lack of self awareness is what makes his "football is a mentality" take so great.

I really thought the same thing and had my doubts about Nico when he was allowed to give his first interview. All I read was how intelligent he was and how much of a leader he is. When he spoke that first time and sounded just like every other high school kid that thinks they are cool, I couldn't believe Heupel was breaking the bank to make this kid the face of the franchise.
