The Tennessee Volunteers ended what had been an exciting and promising 2024 season with one of the biggest duds of a performance in a long time - which is saying something for this program in the 21st century - falling 42-17 to Ohio State in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
Nico Iamaleava completed just 14 of 31 attempts for only 104 yards. Peyton Lewis, who subbed in after injuries to Dylan Sampson and DeSean Bishop, led UT with 77 yards on 10 carries, most of which came in the waning minutes.
