Dan Patrick: "Was there some chirping going back and forth with you and Alabama during the game?"
Diego Pavia: "At the beginning of the game, I go out there as a captain for the coin toss, and they were talking crazy. They thought they were going to come in here and chew us like we were an FCS team. We were like 'what? You must not know.' I just kept telling them 'we're going to see, we're going to see.' They were laughing. I can't say on the show, cause I can't curse, but they were talking crazy. When they said they were taking the ball and we were kicking off, we didn't shake their hands after, we just took off to the sideline."
Dan Patrick: "How big is the chip on your shoulder?"
Diego Pavia: "It's huge. A lot of people say I can't play in the NFL. The SEC is the closest thing to the NFL. I'm here to prove it."
