Week 4 College Football Showdowns: Which Underdogs Could Shock the Powerhouses This Weekend?

Tennessee’s splashiest player is redshirt freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava. The former five-star prospect has been very good across the board to start his tenure as the starting QB. Iamaleava has been slightly above the SEC average in our quarterback tracking stats: well-thrown rate (89.8%) and catchable-ball rate (77.6%) while averaging a league-standard 9.6 air yards per target.
Where he’s been a particular standout is in his few mistakes: Iamaleava’s 1.49% pickable pass rate is less than half the league average. And despite that promising start, the running game is Tennessee’s best offensive trait right now. The Vols are averaging 7.4 yards per run play and have managed a 54.4% success rate on those plays.
