Virginia Tech vs Vanderbilt: Commodores Name Their Starting Quarterback Ahead of Today's Matchup

It is gameday in Nashville between Virginia Tech and Vanderbilt. While Virginia Tech comes into this game as one of the most experienced teams in the country and an established quarterback, Vanderbilt had questions. Well one of those questions was answered this morning when ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that Vanderbilt is going to start New Mexico State transfer Diego Pavia at quarterback today. This should not come as much of a surprise, bit it was made official this morning. Pavia was the starter for New Mexico State season and led them to a big upset on the road at Auburn.
