“Veteran Blaze Berlowitz will start for Vanderbilt today, per sources. He’s set to make his third start of the season,” Thamel reported.
This is a big game for Vanderbilt. The Commodores are looking for their first SEC conference win of the season. The squad is coming off a frustrating loss to Auburn, to start SEC play.
Vanderbilt fans are definitely disheartened to hear about Curtis’ injury. This season, Curtis has posted 746 passing yards and four touchdowns. He also has three interceptions on the year.
Vanderbilt is going into a tough stretch
Saturday starts a brutal two-game stretch for Vanderbilt. The squad’s next two games are against Georgia and then Ole Miss. Both of those squads are ranked teams.
“And what’s next is a great challenge in Georgia,” Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea said, per USA Today. “I mean, I got a ton of respect for Kirby Smart, the program he’s built, he’s an alum. He’s a guy that, you know, has built a program that has become the standard bearer for college football and that’s a three-phase program. I respect the way they play the game in all three phases. They’re physical, they’re fast, they’re sound in their systems.”
This season, Berlowitz has thrown for 178 passing yards. He has completed 56 percent of his passes. He appeared in six games during the 2025 season for the Commodores.
Vanderbilt and Georgia play at 12:45 ET on Saturday. Georgia enters the game with a 4-0 record on the season.
