Is Diego Pavia playing today? Injury update for Vanderbilt star ahead of Commodores’ Week 10 college football matchup vs Auburn | Sporting News

Diego Pavia will be suiting up for Vanderbilt as the Commodores take on Auburn in Week 10.

Pavia, who upset the Tigers with New Mexico State in 2023, could not be held out of practice.

Clark Lea described a relentless Pavia who wasnt going to miss the November 2 showdown at Jordan-Hare Stadium for anything.

Weve tried to put some restrictions on him but usually that doesnt work, Lea said on October 31 (h/t On3 ).

He wants to practice and he wants to play, so he comes out and goes to work.

Hes been fine.

Obviously weve just got to pay attention as the game goes.

I mean its just a physical game, its a tough defense.

Nates gonna be ready, but we have full faith that Diegos gonna be out there rolling, doing his thing.

Pavia has spearheaded one of college footballs best stories of the season.

Never was Vanderbilt supposed to be ranked in the first year of an expanded College Football Playoff and beefed-up SEC .

Lea saw what Pavia did at NMSU, and liked what Jerry Kill did as a program as the 63-year-old stepped away from coaching full-time, and brought over what worked in Las Cruces to Nashville.

Why is Auburn favored against Vanderbilt? Diego Pavia owns 2-0 record against Hugh Freeze Pavia beat Freeze in his first season at Auburn and his last season as Libertys head coach.

He went for over 300 yards and six touchdowns against the Flames, and 236 yards and three touchdowns against the Tigers.

Vanderbilt somehow enters as a touchdown underdog against AU.

Vegas seems sold on the idea of the Tigers regaining their form against Kentucky and the Commodores falling beginning their fall back down to earth.

The answer comes Saturday at 11:45 A.M.
