Vanderbilt football news: Jared Curtis lands on injury report before Georgia showdown

Vanderbilt football quarterback Jared Curtis was placed on the injury report as a "questionable" player ahead of the team's crucial showdown against No. 2 Georgia this Saturday. The Commodores face an uncertain situation if Curtis cannot play, as they will be without their starting QB for the first time since the season began. Following the loss to Oklahoma, Vanderbilt turned to an RPO (Run Pass Option) offense led by freshman Diego Pavia, who showcased his mobility as a key element in securing the Heisman Trophy finalists' quarterback position.

Vanderbilt's prized five-star signing, Curtis, has already delivered flashes of his potential, completing 63% of his throws and throwing four touchdowns while only throwing three interceptions in the last two games. With a height of 6-foot-4, Curtis has also added 133 yards on the ground through 41 carries. However, if Curtis is unable to play, senior Blaze Berlowitz, who shares a connection with former Commodores QB Diego Pavia, will likely take over the starting role.

Berlowitz has already thrown 178 yards this season. This potential quarterback controversy for Vanderbilt could lead to the second biggest win in program history, behind their historic upset over No. 1 Alabama in October 2024.
