Diego Pavia's performance vs LSU

Diego Pavia was able to put into a impressive performance to lead the Vanderbilt Commodores to a 31-24 win over the LSU Tigers.

This improves the Commodores to a 6-1 record for the season, putting them into a good position to content for the SEC championship game and the College Football Playoff.

Pavia threw for 160 yards and one touchdown, but also accounted for 86 rushing yards alongside two rushing touchdowns.

This performance was enough to beat Garrett Nussmeier's Tigers, and keep up the momentum that Pavia has been showing this season.

While this may not put him into contention for the Heisman Trophy, it will help his potential draft stock.
