Tennessee will hold its grand finale to spring practice with its annual Orange and White Game at Neyland Stadium on Saturday.

This glorified scrimmage, the wrap up of a month of practices and the last semblance of a real game before the Vols' season opener in August, typically doesn't grab headlines, but Saturday will be an exception.

The status of starting quarterback Nico Iamaleava is uncertain after reports surfaced Thursday that his camp was negotiating a new contract with Tennessee. The saga continued into Friday when Iamaleava skipped out on the Vols' final practice before Saturday's game.

There is still uncertainty even hours before kickoff at 2 p.m. ET today, making it the biggest storyline of the day. The Gameday Newsstand brings you the others, too, from newcomers to returners looking to finish off spring camp strong.
