Overview

• Vanderbilt routed then-ranked South Carolina 31-7 to snap a 16-game skid in the series and start 3-0, with quarterback Diego Pavia going 18-of-25 for 177 yards and two touchdowns.
• During the SEC Network broadcast, Cole Cubelic relayed that Pavia promised Theo Von a date with his mother, Antoinette Padilla, if the Commodores won, and Von confirmed the offer on air.
• After the victory, Von posted on X a screenshot of Padilla with a drawn heart and asked where he should take her, signaling he intended to follow through.
• Pavia later clarified on X that the offer was contingent on Von telling singer Tate McRae to let Pavia take her on a date in Nashville.
• TMZ reports Von has direct-messaged McRae to try to fulfill Pavia’s condition, and there is no confirmation that any date has been scheduled.
