Vanderbilt's First 3 Game Times REVEALED: The Perfect Ramp-Up for Jared Curtis

Vanderbilt's first three game times of the 2025 season are officially announced — and they reveal something bigger than just kickoff times. In today's episode of Locked On Vandy, host Corey Burton breaks down what these game times mean for new quarterback Jared Curtis and the entire Commodores program heading into fall camp. Week 1: Vanderbilt vs. Austin Peay — 6:00 PM on SEC Network+ Week 2: Vanderbilt vs. Delaware — 3:15 PM CT on SEC Network Week 3: Vanderbilt vs. NC State — 11:45 AM CT on SEC Network Yes, fans want night games. But from a team-building perspective, this schedule is actually a hidden gem. The gradual step-up in competition pairs perfectly with a gradual step-up in kickoff urgency — teaching Jared Curtis and the Commodores how to manage focus, energy, and game-day preparation across three very different time windows. And with NC State's game slotted before the LSU-Ole Miss circus, Vandy actually gets its own spotlight moment. Tune in as we explain why this early schedule — while not perfect for tailgating — might be exactly what Vanderbilt football needs to make a statement heading into SEC play.  🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode! 📲 Follow us on social media: @LockedOnVandy #VanderbiltFootball #Commodores #JaredCurtis #LockedOnVandy #VandyFootball #SECFootball #SEC #NCState #AustinPeay #Delaware #CollegeFootball #CFB #SECNetwork #VandyNation #2025CollegeFootball #CollegeFootballSchedule #QBDevelopment #FootballPodcast #LockedOnPodcastNetwork #VanderbiltCommodores  Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
