However, one storyline seems awfully familiar: the quarterback position is in flux yet again.
For the second season in a row, Vanderbilt has used multiple quarterbacks, even though they didn’t intend to do so at the start of the season.
Last season, Patton Robinette, Stephen Rivers, Johnny McCrary and Wade Freebeck all split time at the position. This time around, McCrary has ceded some playing time to freshman Kyle Shurmur, and as Shurmur runs through concussion protocol this week, Freebeck could see the field for extended time this weekend against Florida.
All of this comes after Mason promised not to create a circus at quarterback again, instead relying on one man behind center.
