Vanderbilt remodeled its offense in 2024. Adding Pavia helped, but the scheme works to make the most of Vandy’s limited talent.
“You’ve got to defend the running game,” Kelly said, “It’s really triple-option in a lot of ways.”
“I think you have to have a different mindset when you go against this offense. This is truly assignment-oriented football, and you have to be disciplined,” Kelly said.
Not counting sacks, Pavia has 718 rushing yards on the year. That leads all SEC quarterbacks and so does his average of 3.56 yards after contact. Explosive runs are rare, but few QBs are better at getting a few yards when it’s needed.
This isn’t an exclusive option attack. Vanderbilt can spread it out and throw it too, but the offense works best when it’s centered around the run game. Even if the Commodores aren’t doing it on the ground, it helps set up the aerial attack.
LSU has struggled to play disciplined defense in recent weeks and Vandy will look to take advantage of that.
