Sportsman of the Week Ending 10/6/2024


In an upset-filled weekend of college football, Vanderbilt pulled the most upsettedness of upsets.  Over number one [Forrest Gump Voice] Ahh-luuh-BAAMMMA.  Led by an unlikely hero.  Senior Commodore quarterback Diego Pavia did it with his arm and legs in an efficient performance.  An accurate an efficient 16-20 throwing for 252 yards with 2 TD and no interceptions.  The New Mexico State transfer averaged over 10 yards per attempt and 15 yards per completion.  Long was only 36 yards so it wasn't one or two big plays.  Then mix in his legs at 56 yards on 20 carries (no sacks either).  Protected the ball.  Got tough yards rushing.  Threw efficiently.  And won the biggest game of his life.  Diego Pavia is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
