Overview
- On ESPN’s Nonstop podcast, Joey Galloway asked Kirk Herbstreit if there was effectively a dedicated camera on Antoinette Padilla and urged producers to stop showing her on “every play.”
- The comments came after repeated shots of Padilla during Vanderbilt’s 45-17 win over Kentucky, including a widely shared clip of her dancing in the stands.
- Theo Von posted on X that he never went on a date with Padilla and described a friendship with the Pavia family that grew out of a lighthearted bet after the South Carolina game.
- Diego Pavia set a Vanderbilt single-game passing record with 484 yards and five touchdowns against Kentucky, amplifying attention on the family storyline.
- Vanderbilt is 9-2 heading into Saturday’s rivalry game at Tennessee, a result that could influence the Commodores’ at-large College Football Playoff hopes.
