It’s an hour after Vanderbilt’s 45-17 win over Kentucky, and fans are still partying on the field. The ‘Dores were celebrating their first undefeated season at home since 1982, a squad that was captained by quarterback Whit Taylor, whose single-game passing record Diego Pavia shattered on Saturday night with 484 yards and five touchdowns through the air and 48 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Pavia (and his mother, brothers, and Theo Vonn) was the center of the party, his swagger infusing life into a Vanderbilt program that, if we’re being honest, has never been cool.
