Commodores triumph: Vanderbilt upsets LSU 31-24

NASHVILLE, TN (KLFY) — #17 Vanderbilt defeated #10 LSU 31-24 on Saturday, marking the Commodores’ first 6-1 start in 75 years.

Led by quarterback Diego Pavia, who passed for 160 yards and a touchdown and ran for 86 yards and two more touchdowns, Vanderbilt’s offense proved too much for LSU.

Vanderbilt’s offense was efficient, punting only twice, both times in the fourth quarter.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns, including a 62-yard pass to Zavion Thomas.

However, LSU’s defense struggled, allowing Vanderbilt to convert 6 of 13 third downs and 2 of 3 fourth downs.

The Tigers also had difficulty stopping the run, conceding 239 rushing yards and three touchdowns, with Pavia contributing a game-high 86 rushing yards on 17 carries.

Following this loss, LSU’s path to the SEC championship game and the College Football Playoffs appears uncertain. The Tigers will look to rebound as they host #4 Texas A&M on October 25.
