He was sacked five times for 27 yards. He ran four times for 9 yards.
Jared Curtis performance vs Alabama
Curtis had an uneven performance against Alabama. On one hand, he didn't commit any turnovers, something that hurt him against Kentucky and Arkansas. However, his efficiency wasn't what it was in some of the earlier games.
He made only one throw of more than 20 yards, missed some open receivers and sometimes completed throws that didn't gain much yardage. He also threw out of the end zone on fourth-and-4, down two touchdowns, when any attempt to make a play would've been better than throwing it away.
Curtis didn't lose Vanderbilt the game − the bigger issues were penalties and an inability to run the ball − but he didn't do anything to win it, either.
