Vanderbilt football prepares for Week 3 matchup against NC State

Vanderbilt football will face NC State in its final nonconference game on Sept. 19 at FirstBank Stadium. The Commodores (2-0) won their previous games against Austin Peay and Delaware, while NC State (1-1) bounced back from a loss against Virginia with a decisive win over Richmond. Freshman quarterback Jared Curtis will make his starting debut for Vanderbilt, which has faced challenges in multiple areas beyond the quarterback position. The game provides both teams with an opportunity to gauge their performance before conference play begins.
