Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia posts message to Auburn before Tigers showdown
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia already has history against Auburn and Hugh Freeze and appears ready to set the next chapter straight Saturday morning.
Just over two hours before kickoff, Pavia posted a message to Auburn on his Instagram story. The message was a screenshot of the lyrics from Lil Baby’s song “Heyy,” with the line “They thought I got lucky last time” highlighted.
Pavia helped lead New Mexico State to a victory over Auburn last season, rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-10 win. The year before, Pavia led the Aggies to a 49-14 win over Freeze’s Liberty team.
Now at Vanderbilt, Pavia has led the Commodores to a 5-3 record and a win over Alabama earlier this season. He has 1,534 passing yards with 13 passing touchdowns this season, while rushing for another 537 yards and four touchdowns.
Kickoff between Auburn and Vanderbilt is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. and will be streamed on SEC Network.
