Texas Football Faces Vanderbilt Without Key Safety: Taaffe Out for Week 9, Return UncertainTexas football fans received a blow when starting safety Michael Taaffe, a crucial defensive leader, will miss the upcoming game against Vanderbilt due to recent thumb surgery. Taaffe, the team's third-leading tackler, will be sidelined, leaving the Longhorns without his fifty-one tackles, an interception, and a sack this season. The news comes as Vanderbilt, ranked ninth, visits Austin for the first time in nearly ninety years, bringing a top ten ranking and a dual-threat quarterback. Texas must win to stay in the playoff hunt, and the secondary's chemistry and depth will be tested as younger players step in. All eyes are on how the Longhorns will handle these sudden changes, with the game's outcome potentially shaking up the playoff race.
