Tennessee Dominates Iowa in 2024 Citrus Bowl

Freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava made his first career start in the 2024 Citrus Bowl and led the Tennessee Vols to a 35-0 victory over Iowa. Iamaleava accounted for four touchdowns, throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown and recording three touchdowns on the ground. The game saw solid performances from sophomore running back Dylan Sampson and freshman tailback Cam Seldon. Tennessee's defense dominated the game, and Iowa's offense struggled to get going, resulting in a 35-0 shutout. The game marked a significant moment for Iamaleava, the nation's top player in the 2023 signing class, as he impressed on a national stage against Iowa's highly-rated defense.
