Freshman early enrollee quarterback Nico Iamaleava Jr. took part in his first Orange & White Game on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
He completed 8-of-16 passing attempts for 112 yards.
Iamaleava Jr. met with media following the White’s 17-14 victory against the Orange team.
“I was not nervous,” he said. “At the end of the day, it’s just football. You go out there, play and have fun. It was because I messed up that first play in spring practice this week that I was like, ‘I’m not messing this play up again.’
“I played OK. I thought we could have scored more when we got to the red zone and finished drives off. We are working. We will get to that point where it is green when we get down in the red zone. I thought, overall as an offense, we did OK.”
