ESPN’s “College GameDay” is heading to Nashville for the first time since 2008 in Week 9.
“GameDay” will be on site for No. 12 Vanderbilt vs. No. 14 Missouri, a top-15 matchup between SEC programs that have emerged in recent seasons.
The Commodores are coming off a 31-24 home win over LSU, one of the program’s best wins in recent seasons. They are led by quarterback Diego Pavia, who has emerged as a Heisman Trophy contender this year with 19 total touchdowns.
Pavia is certain to be one of the focuses of the pregame show, as he has another chance to add a marquee win to his resume. He has been one of the best stories in college football in his two seasons at Vanderbilt.
