Vanderbilt football faced pivoting to a different quarterback ahead of facing Ole Miss. Freshman Jared Curtis didn't take snaps against the No. 2 Bulldogs in that 38-14 defeat. But received a more positive update ahead of facing Ole Miss.

ESPN College Football insider Pete Thamel shared on Wednesday night that Lewis is upgraded to probable.

He's the only member of the Commodores to land in that category. But that hands coach Clark Lea needed familiarity for who can lead the offense.

Backup Blaze Berlowitz struggled against Georgia: Hitting 12 completions out of 23 attempts with 190 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Curtis' return can certainly reignite a dismal offense from the last two weeks. Vanderbilt scored only 15 points against Auburn before facing Georgia. Yet the Bulldogs held Vandy to its worst scoring output of the season, dropping the Commodores to 3-2 overall.

Curtis arrived to the SEC program as Vanderbilt's first-ever five-star College Football Recruiting signing. The local 6-foot-4 quarterback rose as a prominent local win too for Lea and Vandy, as Curtis hails from the Music City and starred for Nashville Christian School.

Curtis became banged up with a knee ailment before the Georgia loss. Vandy would've elevated up the top 25 had the Commodores won. Plus such a victory would've became the Commodores' biggest road win ever. But Vanderbilt can turn its attention to knocking off the ninth-ranked Rebels in the Commodores' home venue on Saturday. And shake up the SEC field in the process. Vanderbilt has a two-game losing slide to try and snap.
