Story summary
Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea announced on Tuesday that freshman quarterback Jared Curtis will start Saturday's game against N.C. State, replacing Blaze Berlowitz who was initially named the starter. Curtis, the nation’s No. 4 overall recruit in his class according to 247Sports Composite, has been splitting snaps with Berlowitz during Vanderbilt’s first two games this season. Lea believes that Curtis is ready now and can help the team win immediately rather than sacrificing current wins for future success. The decision comes after Curtis showed significant potential in recent performances, leading to a change in strategy where Vanderbilt will rely solely on him moving forward.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
