Grading Blaze Berlowitz for Vanderbilt football vs Georgia in start after Jared Curtis injury

Athens, GA – Vanderbilt football faced Georgia without their highly touted 5-star prospect, Jared Curtis, who had committed to the Bulldogs before transferring to the Commodores. Blaze Berlowitz stepped up to start for Vanderbilt in the Oct. 3 game at Sanford Stadium, which they ultimately lost 38-14. Despite the narrow margin, the game was closer than the final score suggested, with the Commodores trailing by just one touchdown for more than two quarters before Georgia's dominance took over.

Berlowitz's performance was a highlight of the game, showcasing his growth and adaptability. Given his limited experience as a wide receiver in the previous week's game against Auburn, Berlowitz delivered his most impressive performance for Vanderbilt to date. His stats were impressive – 12 completions on 23 attempts for 190 yards and a touchdown, along with seven rushing yards, even though sacks were a concern.

Berlowitz recorded one sack for seven yards but managed to avoid turning the ball over, committing just one interception that he could not capitalize on.

Throughout the game, Berlowitz demonstrated his ability to make impactful plays. He connected with Junior Sherrill on two key passes – a 60-yard touchdown pass and a 27-yard reception. Berlowitz thrived when he moved outside the pocket, utilizing his mobility to create opportunities for his receivers. His decision-making was solid, avoiding any glaring errors despite facing adversity.

The only turnover of the game was his interception, which was a challenging throw under pressure but not an outright mistake. Overall, Berlowitz received a B+ grade for his performance against Georgia, reflecting a solid showing that highlighted his potential as a key player for Vanderbilt's future season.
