Leading into the game, Freeze joked, “I’m sick of seeing that quarterback.”

For Vanderbilt, there had been some concern that Pavia was injured against Texas. After the game, head coach Clark Lea even admitted he was banged up.

“You know, as far as I know, and we’ll need to get an assessment afterwards, so I don’t wanna comment on, you know, obviously he finished the game out. He was banged up there and needed attention,” Clark Lea said. “I thought Nate [Johnson] came in and was able to do a good job and get a conversion. But this is going to be Diego’s – the reality of him closing the season out. He’s taken hits. He’s played tough. I thought he was gutsy tonight in the way he led the offense at the end. And he’s a fighter.”

Kickoff at Jordan-Hare Stadium is currently scheduled for 12:45 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 2nd.
