Nico Iamaleava - Will be ready next Saturday Iamaleava (upper body) will be available for Tennessee's game at Georgia on Nov. 16, Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.

Impact Tennessee's ongoing game is only minutes into the second half without that much of a lead for the Volunteers, so his departure is concerning. He finished the Mississippi State game with eight completions on 13 attempts for 174 passes and two touchdowns. Offensively, his teammates will have to hold down the fort with Gaston Moore under center.
