Vanderbilt hoping QB Kyle Shurmur picks up where he left off
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kyle Shurmur is happy doing whatever it takes to help Vanderbilt win whether that is handing the ball off or throwing down the field.
The way the quarterback has grown this season, coach Derek Mason believes the best is yet to come.
“He wants to be great, he doesn’t want to be good,” Mason said Tuesday. “He challenges himself every day. We talk about football, ball handling, every opportunity to create the balance that’s needed as a leader of this group and being able to make sure he gets done the work he needs.”
Shurmur is getting extra work with Vanderbilt (6-6) preparing to play North Carolina State (6-6) on Monday in the Independence Bowl, and the timing couldn’t be better.
