Why Tennessee can cover
The Vols have a Heisman Trophy hopeful in quarterback Nico Iamaleava. The redshirt freshman quarterback is a former five-star recruit, who is one of the best all-around athletes in college football. Iamaleava, a 6-foot-6 dual-threat, has excelled in Josh Heupel’s offense in his first full season as the program’s starter. Through four games, he has 892 passing yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions.
The Vols will be getting a major boost with the return of both starting offensive tackles for this game. Left tackle Lance Heard missed the entire Oklahoma game, while right tackle John Campbell suffered an injury and left in the second quarter. Tennessee is 4-0 against the spread this season. Neither is listed on the official injury report this week. See which team to pick here.
