Jared Curtis is anticipated to return as Vanderbilt's starting quarterback for their upcoming game against No. 9 Ole Miss on Saturday. The five-star freshman missed last week’s game against Georgia due to injury. Before being sidelined, Curtis had shown promise this season, completing 64.3% of his passes for 746 yards, with four touchdowns and three interceptions. His return is seen as crucial for Vanderbilt's offense, especially against an Ole Miss defense struggling against the run, ranked 127th nationally in rushing yards allowed. The Commodores aim to break a losing streak against the Rebels, having not won since 2018.
