Ole Miss Faces a RECHARGED Vanderbilt as Jared Curtis and Clark Lea ELEVATE the Rivalry

Ole Miss football enters a must-win season, boasting the nation’s top quarterback, running back, kicker, and a projected first-round defensive lineman. Can Pete Golding's squad meet playoff expectations, or will Vanderbilt’s roster transformation—and the electric play of freshman QB Jared Curtis—turn this rivalry upside down? Locked On’s Steven Willis and Corey Burton break down both teams’ new mindsets, roster upgrades, and the dramatic evolution of the Commodores’ program under Clark Lea and Jerry Kill. Key topics include personnel moves by Vanderbilt GM Barton Simmons, storylines to watch—like Kewan Lacy’s breakout potential and Johntay Cook’s impact year—plus tactical battles featuring Pete Golding’s Ole Miss defense. The hosts debate SEC playoff expansion, media rights drama, and whether new blood like Vandy and Ole Miss can finally crash the blue-blood playoff party. Will talent or tenacity rule on game day? #anchordown #vandyfootball #clarklea #podcast #vanderbilt #jaredcurtis #hoddytoddy #trinidadchambliss #petegolding Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
