Vanderbilt’s Freshman QB Takes the Stage | Huntsville News

Vanderbilt’s making a bold move this Saturday, starting five-star freshman Jared Curtis at quarterback against North Carolina State. After flashing brilliance from the bench—throwing for over 200 yards and two touchdowns while running for two scores—Curtis took control of the offense in the second half of their last game. The Commodores are betting big on the kid who flipped his commitment from Georgia and boasts nearly 10,000 high school passing yards and over 100 touchdowns. Senior Blaze Berlowitz, who started strong but faded in the final game before Curtis stepped up, gets credit for his leadership—but now it’s Curtis’ time to shine under pressure. Kickoff is at 11:45 AM Central on SEC Network. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
