**Tennessee Updates Nico Iamaleava's Status Ahead of Crucial Georgia Game**

Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is currently listed as questionable for this weekend's critical clash against Georgia. Iamaleava missed the second half of Tennessee's victory over Mississippi State last weekend after sustaining a concussion. Despite his injury, Coach Josh Heupel has remained optimistic throughout the week, expressing his belief that the star quarterback will be ready to play on Saturday night.

Iamaleava's presence on the field is vital for the Volunteers, particularly as the team seeks its first win against Georgia since 2016. Though his debut season hasn't been without challenges, Iamaleava has shown considerable improvement as the season has progressed. He is currently averaging 8.5 yards per attempt, placing him fourth among qualified SEC quarterbacks.

In the event that Iamaleava is unable to play, Tennessee will need to turn to backup quarterback Gaston Moore. Moore's performance this season has been a mixed bag; he has completed 16 out of 25 passes for 201 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Moore will need to step up significantly if Iamaleava is sidelined, as the Volunteers face one of their toughest opponents of the season.

Tennessee fans are eagerly awaiting the game's kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, hoping for a strong performance and a potential upset against the Bulldogs. For those looking to enhance their game-day experience, various sports betting apps provide numerous options to get in on the action this fall.
