Texas' 34-31 victory over Vanderbilt was uneven in two ways—first, the Horns dominated the first half and were outplayed in the second half. Second, the offense played vastly superior to the defense. It’s pretty clear to me that Coach Michael Taaffe is the most important player on defense, and losing Jelani McDonald didn’t help matters either. There's plenty to be excited about and plenty to still clean up as Texas makes a push for a berth in the SEC Championship Game.
