Diego Pavia throws TD pass in OT and No. 15 Vanderbilt holds off Auburn 45-38

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- , Diego Pavia threw a 4-yard pass to Cole Spence in overtime, and No. 15 Vanderbilt rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat Auburn 45-38 on Saturday. The win keeps hopes of a College Football Playoff berth alive for Vanderbilt (8-2, 4-2 Southeastern Conference, No. 16 CFP). The Commodores had left themselves with no room to spare after losing 34-31 at Texas last week. “We’re out of opportunities," Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said of his message before kickoff to the Commodores. “Everything’s at stake, and the mission is winning.” Auburn's Ashton Daniels tied it up at 38-all by throwing a 23-yard TD pass to Cam Coleman before finding Coleman again for a 2-point conversion with 5:27 left. Daniels' pass into the end zone at the end of regulation was batted down. In overtime, needing to match Pavia's TD, Daniels overthrew Coleman in the end zone on fourth-and-7.
