Pavia was sensational in this win for Vanderbilt. He went 16-for-20 for 252 yards and 2 touchdowns while not turning the ball over. He also carried the ball a staggering 20 times for 56 yards in the win.
Perhaps the most important element of Vanderbilt’s upset victory was its performance on third down. Led by Pavia, Vandy converted 12-of-18 third-down attempts on the night. He also threw a 36-yard touchdown pass on a 4th-and-1 opportunity in the second half.
Vanderbilt will face Kentucky next weekend.
