LSU coach Brian Kelly spoke about how he respects Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia's dual-threat capability ahead of the Tigers' clash against the Commodores.

Kelly was asked about the Alburquerque, New Mexico, native's ability to destroy opponents' defenses with his hands and feet.

The veteran LSU tactician said that he rather wants to see Pavia pass the ball than run rings around the field.

The senior signal-caller has excelled in running and passing, rushing for 352 yards on 60 carries with touchdowns. His passing has been top of the charts this season as well, throwing 1,409 yards for 14 touchdowns with four interceptions.

Pavia has completed 71.4% of his passes in the first six games of the season but he was limited to a 60% passing completion rate in Vanderbilt's 30-14 loss to Alabama on Week 6.

LSU will counter with senior quarterback and early Heisman Trophy favorite Garrett Nussmeier, who has thrown for 1,413 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions this season.

Nussmeier didn't have his excellent stuff in LSU's 20-10 win over South Carolina. He passed 254 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and completed 60.6% of his passes against the Gamecocks.
