Pavia Ties Vanderbilt TD Pass Record as Commodores Rout Utah State 55-35 to Reach 5-0

The 5-0 start sends the Commodores to an Oct. 4 rematch at Alabama.

Overview

  • Pavia finished 26-of-34 for 321 yards with five touchdown passes and one interception, and he added 79 rushing yards with another score.
  • Junior Sherrill caught three first-half touchdowns, with Eli Stowers and Richie Hoskins also scoring through the air and Makhilyn Young adding a rushing TD.
  • Vanderbilt scored on eight straight drives and has topped 40 points in each of its first three home games of 2025.
  • The defense showed mixed form, surrendering 393 yards at 6.2 per play overall but limiting Utah State to 15 third-quarter yards with three sacks and seven hurries.
  • A second-quarter punt sequence saw a potential block wiped out by defensive holding and a roughing-the-kicker penalty that drew boos from the home crowd, and next up is a visit to No. 17 Alabama on Oct. 4 at 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN or ABC.
