Diego Pavia's 6 TDs Lead Vanderbilt Football over Utah State with Alabama up Next
Vanderbilt football achieved its first 5-0 start since 2008 with quarterback Diego Pavia throwing five touchdowns and Junior Sherrill scoring three receiving touchdowns.
- On Sept. 27, Vanderbilt beat Utah State 55-35 at FirstBank Stadium, closing its final nonconference game and reaching a 5-0 start.
- With Alabama looming next week, Vanderbilt used the game to maintain momentum after scoring over 40 points in their first three home games of 2025.
- Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt quarterback, threw five touchdown passes, ran for another, and posted a season-high 321 passing yards, while Junior Sherrill, Vanderbilt receiver, had six catches for 91 yards and three first-half touchdowns.
- The result reshapes short-term outlooks for both teams as Utah State Aggies dropped to 3-2 and will open Mountain West play with an Oct. 11 trip to Hawaii, while Vanderbilt Commodores’ 91 penalty yards raise concerns.
- Historic scoring marks position Vanderbilt Commodores as an offensive outlier with 245 points through five weeks, the most since the SEC began play in 1933, and the first 30-plus point streak since 1915.
