But I mentioned Heisman Trophy. I mentioned Diego Pavia, coach loves what the Vanderbilt quarterback has done this year, finishes the regular season at 10-2 overall. He's plus 170, coach, to steal the hardware potentially after this weekend. He's not even gonna play. Could Diego Pavia be our Heisman winner this season? You know, somebody's gonna have to go out there and pump him. I mean, they had been a big poster up in Times Square, the whole big deal, you know, back when I was at ABC and you were there when I was there, John Saunders got all over Charles Woodson. You remember it was the quarterback Peyton Manning was the number one guy and then John started pumping him and uh if you could get a couple of top guys, the Nick Sabans, to startumping pop, Pama is the most deserving quarterback in the country. I believe nobody could have done at Vanderbilt. What he did, he's a generational quarterback that had the 1st 10 win season in school history. I thought they probably could plug uh several quarterbacks in it. Ohio State or Indiana and probably have results very similar. Those are good quarterbacks. They're part of a great machine, I think, uh, uh, Diego Pavia has made the biggest impact on a program, even you look at at Clark Lee, he was what, 2 and 10, 5 and 72 and 10, all of a sudden. He gets Diego Pavia and he's 7 and 6, 10 and 2. We're not even sure if it's the head coach or the quarterback in that regard, but that's the kind of impact he's had on that program. I just wish and nobody's gonna see him anymore unless, unless somehow, um, he got in the playoffs, which I don't think he can get in. He's not gonna get any kind of push unless a couple of top promoters because it is a publicity type of deal unless some people publicly get on him, start promoting him because that thing will be voted. right after the conference championship, the week after the conference championships, and he's not in. It will. Now, his last two games against Kentucky and Tennessee, he played incredible. I mean, he dominates Kentucky 45, 17, 484 yards, 5 touchdown passes. Uh, last week against Tennessee, puts up over 260 yards. He snaps a six-game losing streak to the volunteers. I mean, coach, if you just think about it. Vanderbilt had lost 6 times, 6 straight times to Tennessee by an average margin of defeat of 26.6 points per game. They were completely dominated by the volunteers in recent years, and he went out there and beat them by 21 points on their field. And, and it was basically an even, even game at halftime and they pull away in the second half. That's how important Diego Pavia is to the Commodores. He sure is, and I mean that's a hard game to swallow for those Tennessee fans now for them to look at Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt just dominated the second half. Then it made him look bad and Bobby was the one doing it. And so again it's if you don't pay a close enough attention, I'm afraid he being at Vanderbilt, he doesn't quite get the, the attention he deserves, uh, that Mendoza gets or saying gets. In Ohio State, but if anybody has been watching, like I said, there has been no more impactful quarterback, no quarterback, and it's a great story where he comes from and where he is and what he's done, all those things that tie into that that that award, uh, he, he, he checks all the boxes there. So anyway, uh, I've said my piece. I really feel that he is the most deserving and I'm not. Just a Southern guy that's saying, OK, he's from the SEC. I just, I watch them all and and the other two quarterbacks are very, very good, but they're part of a big time great program and great, a great winning team, and I'm not sure that Kurt Signetti probably could find one or two quarterbacks that could do for him what his quarterback did for him last year is very similar to what this quarterback doing for him. Same thing for Ohio State.
