Jared Curtis, Vanderbilt Football Notebook: Getting First SEC Win, Late Game Execution, Growing in Leadership
NASHVILLE — Vanderbilt five-star freshman quarterback Jared Curtis had a visible smile on face you could see through the facemask of his helmet Saturday night when he went on the field postgame to shake hands with Mississippi State players.
It was easy to tell how happy he was after he got his first conference win of his college career. Curtis and Vanderbilt just finished surviving a late surge from Mississippi State where the Commodores beat the Bulldogs 25-23.
It was a game in which the Commodores showed some more identity in the run game and on defense. The Commodores were able to get 160 yards on the ground and find more balance offensively.
