As the calendar enters October, the Southeastern Conference surprisingly has a light slate this weekend. But for some teams, namely the Texas Longhorns, October means the start of SEC play. Texas at Florida will draw the attention of Longhorns fans, but much of the country is looking at Vanderbilt at Alabama.

Commodores quarterback Diego Pavia looks to continue his rampage against teams from the state of Alabama. Pavia recently sat down with On3’s Chris Low for an exclusive interview about his run through the sport and parallels between his career and that of Johnny Manziel.

A few other teams on Texas’ schedule are in action as well including Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State.
