Once upon a time, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian was in the same boat as Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia. Sarkisian played two years as a quarterback for El Camino College—a junior college in Los Angeles County—and then transferred to BYU.
Sarkisian played two years in Provo, garnering WAC Offensive Player of the Year honors after a terrific 1996. Pavia, however, has played three thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic—and is now able to play more after a Wednesday court injunction.
