Episode description

The Rocky Top Insider Press Pass podcast is back again as hosts Ric Butler and Jack Foster are live in Orlando breaking down the Vols' win over Iowa in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl.

The guys start out the show by talking about their overall experience from the Citrus Bowl before diving into their broad thoughts on the game. The big topic of the day is quarterback Nico Iamaleava as he racked up four touchdowns in the Vols' 35-0 win with three on the ground and one through the air. The guys discuss Iamaleava's game and where there are bright spots for the future while assessing his first four quarter game for Tennessee.

Ric and Jack then talk about Tennessee pitching a shutout on defense and how it happened behind the play of the defensive line. James Pearce Jr. and Tyre West were effective players disrupting Iowa's run game and Andre Turrentine made a huge interception to save points from going on the board with Tennessee's backs against the wall near the endzone.

There's a lot to talk about from the Citrus Bowl so take a listen to the Rocky Top Insider Press Pass today!
