Diego Pavia led Vanderbilt to a stunning upset of #1 Alabama.

Diego Pavia transferred from New Mexico State to Vanderbilt, and led NMSU to their win over Valpo two years ago.

So (without doing any research to fully confirm this), Diego Pavia is the only quarterback in college football history to beat Valpo and the #1 team in the country.

Watching the game yesterday, I kept thinking I new the guy's name from somewhere. Now I know.

Probably the biggest upset in what? 20 years?

The Stanford win at USC under Harbough comes to mind (43 point underdogs or something) and App State at Michigan. Only two comparable upsets in last 20 years. Pavia sat the second half versus us."injury"

Saw a video about how losses like these usually cause programs to reset. Michigan was a ghost of themselves until well into the Harbaugh years after the loss to App st.
