NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Kyle Shurmur hasn't been labeled the quarterback of the future for Vanderbilt.
Not yet, anyway.
But the 6-foot-4, 225-pound freshman took a step in that direction with a good showing in last week's 21-17 win over Kentucky.
His next test will be against Texas A&M in the Commodores' home finale on Saturday.
Shurmur completed 13 of 26 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns against Kentucky, leading Vanderbilt (4-6, 2-4 SEC East) to its highest-scoring output since a 47-7 win over Austin Peay on Sept. 19.
''I thought Kyle took some steps,'' Commodores coach Derek Mason said.
