Vanderbilt Football MUST Get These 5 Players Going vs Delaware

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Who are the players that could make the BIGGEST impact when Vanderbilt takes on Delaware?

On this episode of Locked On Vandy, we break down five X-factor players who could play a massive role against the Blue Hens — and potentially help set the tone for Vanderbilt’s 2026 season.

From Ricardo Jones patrolling the deep middle and creating turnover opportunities to Carson Lawrence controlling the edge, Vanderbilt’s defense has several players who could dictate how much room Delaware quarterback Nick Minacucci has to operate.

On offense, Junior Sherrill could provide the explosive plays and energy Vanderbilt needs, while Cade McConnell has an important opportunity to settle in at strong guard and help stabilize the offensive line.

And don't overlook Martel Height. His ability to impact the punt return game could give Vanderbilt a major special-teams advantage and potentially create an explosive play when the Commodores need it most.

These aren't just players to watch against Delaware — they're potential tone-setters for Vanderbilt football in 2026.

Who are YOUR five X-factors for Vanderbilt?

Ep. 383: Vanderbilt’s QB Situation Gets Messier + Austin Peay Takeaways & Delaware Preview

Clark Lea Wants to Find CLARITY in the QB Situation vs the Delaware Blue Hens

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Clark Lea wants clarity at quarterback, and Vanderbilt’s matchup with Delaware could be a critical opportunity to find it.

The Vanderbilt QB battle between Jared Curtis and Blaze Berlowitz remains unsettled, but what exactly should separate them? In this episode, we break down the traits Vanderbilt needs to evaluate: commanding the huddle, operating the offense cleanly, protecting the football, making good decisions, creating explosive plays and—most importantly—making throws into tight windows.

Blaze brings experience, while Jared Curtis has shown an arm talent that could give Vanderbilt a different level of explosiveness. Against defenses that load the box and challenge the quarterback to beat them through the air, that could become a major factor.

We also discuss Clark Lea’s comments, Vanderbilt’s quarterback rotation, the need for better offensive operation and why the Commodores eventually need to settle on a QB before facing NC State.

Who should be Vanderbilt’s QB1—and what will be the ultimate separator?

Reflections on Vanderbilt football three days after the opener

Bleav + Christopher Lee — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 14:05:00 GMT

Topics include:

More on the quarterback situation between Blaze Berlowitz and Jared Curtis, including thoughts on who might start and/or play more time this week.
Sometimes the first few weeks aren't indicative of what a football team is (good or bad), with 2017 Vanderbilt as an example.
The defensive line was the team's most impressive unit in the opener.
A vanilla game plan on both sides of the ball got vanilla results.
Guys we thought we'd see play more and guys who played more than we thought.
And more.

Vanderbilt, Clark Lea must UNLEASH this week against the Delaware Blue Hens

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Vanderbilt Commodores face a turning point as they prepare to unleash their offense against the Delaware Blue Hens. Will Clark Lee hand the reins to five-star freshman Jared Curtis or stick with Blaze Berlowitz? Corey Burton breaks down why Vanderbilt must open up their playbook, shed the vanilla approach, and trust their quarterback—whoever it is—to operate the offense at full scale. Expect heated analysis of the team’s need for explosive vertical plays and a more aggressive mindset as they gear up for tougher opponents like NC State and SEC rivals.

On defense, can Vanderbilt disrupt Delaware’s electrifying quarterback Nick Manicucci and the Blue Hens’ high-octane passing attack? Corey Burton spotlights the must-win battles for Vanderbilt’s defensive front, the crucial role of Ricardo Jones and Martel Hight, and the importance of dominating the line of scrimmage. With key matchups and confidence-building opportunities at stake, this matchup could define Vanderbilt’s trajectory moving forward.

The Austin Peay Game TAUGHT US that Jared Curtis needs to be the Guy

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Vanderbilt Commodores’ QB question heats up as Corey Burton argues it’s time for freshman Jared Curtis to take the reins. Can Curtis’ NFL-level arm unlock the offense’s vertical threat, or will conservative play-calling keep Vandy stuck in a 6-6 ceiling? The debate intensifies after a lackluster win over Austin Peay, where the coaching staff’s risk-averse approach left big-play potential untapped and fans questioning the team’s confidence under center.

Corey Burton breaks down the Commodores’ run-game strengths with Setty, MK, and James L.—but warns that without an aggressive, downfield mentality, SEC defenses are sure to suffocate them. Key topics include Blaze Berlowitz’s limitations, the defense’s inconsistent start despite a loaded roster, and the urgent need for attacking schemes ahead of a tough matchup against Delaware. Will Vandy build on its ground game and ignite its passing attack in time for SEC play?
