Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia Takes In Jared Curtis’ Six-TD Showcase and Late Winner in Nashville

Overview

• Jared Curtis accounted for six touchdowns and scored the go-ahead 8-yard run with 50 seconds left in Nashville Christian’s 49-42 win over Tyner.
• The Eagles improved to 7-0 as the defending TSSAA Division II-A champions behind Curtis’ 19-of-31 passing for 312 yards and four scores.
• Curtis reaggravated a lingering ankle injury late in the game but remained the decisive playmaker for Nashville Christian.
