Heupel: Tennessee passing game is ‘close’

The Tennessee passing attack is struggling out of the gates in SEC play, which really isn’t something anyone was worried about just one month ago. The Volunteers didn’t really need the passing game against Oklahoma, and they simply couldn’t get anything going against Arkansas. Florida was more of the same.

Nico Iamaleava got off to a decent start on the first drive against the Gators, but things went downhill following a fumble on a read option look. From there, nothing was clicking. Tennessee had some opportunities to connect down the field, but Iamaleava misfired a couple of times in the second quarter.
