I'd take Ke'Shawn Vaughn out of Vandy if I needed a RB this year.

Hell, you'll get him late and the dude can definitely slip tackles in the SEC and catch passes.

Any idea how good Taylor is in pass protection?

Being completely objective their stats are almost identical. Ohio State and Michigan state were able to hold Taylor under 100 and no one did that with Hubbard (Mcneese doesn't count-that game was over 10 minutes into it). Statistically Big 10 defenses were better but they didn't face Big 12 offenses which tended to be a little more run oriented than the past so that is going to skew stats.

They had the same numbers so do any of the intangibles separate them?

Not sure. Never heard anything negative about it. He improved a lot on his receiving this year, but not much talk on his blocking. He also has the most runs longer than 10 yards than anyone in the country. I could be mistaken, but he is the only player to have a run longer than 20 yards against Iowa. He was the first to do it, I know that. It happened in the 4th Q and pretty much was the nail in the coffin of the game.
