Overview
- Tennessee fell 44-41 to No. 3 Georgia in overtime, but Joey Aguilar threw four touchdowns, ran for another and passed for 374 yards after starting 14-for-14.
- UCLA dropped to 0-3 with a 35-10 loss to New Mexico, as Nico Iamaleava’s season totals moved to 608 passing yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
- The spring portal moves effectively swapped quarterbacks, with Iamaleava leaving Tennessee for UCLA and Aguilar committing to the Vols the next day.
- Reporting tied Iamaleava’s exit to NIL renegotiation efforts near the $4 million range, with multiple outlets noting his UCLA deal is smaller than what he could have earned at Tennessee.
- Nick Saban praised Aguilar on College GameDay for executing Tennessee’s scheme effectively, while commentators have increased scrutiny on UCLA’s staff after the Bruins’ offensive struggles.
