Vanderbilt QB Jared Curtis does not play in loss to Georgia

Summary

Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea confirmed that freshman quarterback Jared Curtis did not participate in the Commodores' 38-14 loss to Georgia due to health concerns stemming from a recent injury. Curtis was originally listed as questionable, and despite his efforts to prepare, he was deemed not fit to play at the necessary level. Veteran Blaze Berlowitz started in his place, throwing for 190 yards, one touchdown, and an interception. Lea expressed respect for Curtis's determination to recover and hopes he will be ready for Vanderbilt's next game against Ole Miss on October 10.
