The mother of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, Antoinette Padilla, went viral on live television during the Commodores' 31-24 win over LSU on Saturday at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.

Padilla appeared on television with Pavia in a postgame interview on the sidelines after No. 17 Vanderbilt clinched a historic victory over No. 10 LSU.

His mother's youthful appearance made rounds on the Internet since September and comedian Theo Von was one of her admirers. It was reported that Von and Pavia had a bet in Vanderbilt's game against South Carolina on Sept. 13, with the quarterback agreeing on the premise that Von would date Padilla if the Commodores won.

Vanderbilt won that game 31-7, and Von has not gone on a date with Padilla 35 days after the bet was made. Pavia, however, clarified in a post on X that the deal would be consummated if the comedian would fulfill his end of the bargain, which was to help him set up a date with American pop star Tate McRae.

It seems like Von and Pavia would need to iron things out before their respective dates take place. As of the moment, the Vanderbilt quarterback is heavily concentrated on the 2025 college football season, especially now that the Commodores have qualified for the bowl games by the end of the year.

And Antoinette Padilla will have extended appearances that could get more viral as the weeks leading up to the college football playoffs approach.

Diego Pavia leads rushing attack to beat LSU

Diego Pavia knows he can't make errant throws against LSU's passing defense that has recorded eight interceptions this season. So, he went to Plan B, which is to focus more on the rushing attack to tire the Tigers' defensive front.

Pavia ran for 86 yards and scored two touchdowns while Makhilyn Young added 82 yards in five carries to lead Vanderbilt's rushing attack that finished with 239 yards.

Sedrick Alexander rushed for 45 yards with one touchdown as the Commodores used their feet to outclass the Tigers, who only produced 100 yards.

The senior quarterback made a good account of himself in passing the ball, throwing 14 of 22 completions for 160 yards, but his feet controlled the tempo for Vanderbilt, which bounced back from a 30-14 defeat against Alabama.

Vanderbilt's defense was able to get into Garrett Nussmeyer's offensive shield, with Keanu Koht and Zaylin Wood coming up with a sack each.

The Commodores (6-1, 2-1 in SEC) look to continue their amazing run in the SEC, as they take on No. 16 Missouri (6-1, 2-1 in SEC) on Oct. 25 at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.

LSU (5-2, 2-2 in SEC), meanwhile, hosts No. 4 Texas A&M (7-0, 4-0 in SEC) at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
