Tennessee’s 2024 football season has officially arrived. The Volunteers will take on the Chattanooga Mocs from the FCS ranks this afternoon at Neyland Stadium.
The game will serve as highly-touted quarterback Nico Iamaleava’s first home start as a Volunteer, coming several months after his brilliant performance in the Citrus Bowl.
Chattanooga head coach Rusty Wright is well aware of the challenges he’s going to present.
“He’s talented,” Wright said this week. “Yeah, he’s talented. He can make all throws and the scariest part is when he gets it in his hands and he tucks it, it gets real interesting then.
