The Tigers took a 13-10 lead late in the third quarter and looked in control; however, the Crimson Tide drove down the field in just five plays to take the lead. That was the first of three unanswered touchdowns that turned a once-tight game into a blowout.Lane Kiffin’s first year looks much like his predecessor Brian Kelly’s tenure in the Bayou, which ended in his third year after starting 5-3. Kiffin started 6-2, a run that includes a loss to his former team, Ole Miss, and an overtime win over Kentucky — now equaling Kelly’s loss total from the first eight games after giving up the lead and game against the Crimson Tide.Texas, for its part, played a more complete game than it has all year in Saturday’s 34-20 win over No. 18 Missouri, with the offense and defense playing complementary football for the first time. The offense capitalized on defensive stops, and the special teams avoided most, but not all, disastrous plays. In a year where Texas has struggled to put together a complete game plan and had to survive late-game theatrics, it was nice to see the Horns come out and execute in a way that left no doubt for those watching.Now, Texas has to go on the road to another tough environment, Death Valley in prime time, one of the toughest places in the country. The win over Missouri gave them another quality win for resume purposes, but winning out is the best way to secure their playoff future.</div></body>
