Shutdown corners made the difference for the defense.

Chavis decided to trust his CBs to man to man cover the WRs, which opened up the playbook. The fact that when JFF looked to pass, his receivers were covered disrupted their flow. His best and go to receiver was covered like a blanket. RR, outweighed by 40 something pounds, manhandled Evans and had him crying like a little girl. White played great and only gave up big yardage and TD when he slipped. (Don't we change to longer cleats for wet and slippery conditions?)
The last time our starters at CB were from Florida and Shreveport, we had two first round draft picks playing. I believe these two guys will follow in the footsteps of RR and MC, who each happen to have a connection to his predecessor. And with the potential additions to the mix, our defensive backfield will be a No Passing Zone for the foreseeable future.
Add Jefferson, Paris, Brown, Toliver, Lewis, Thompson, Thomas, Hootie (?), Adoree (?). Stocked with NFL level talent. DBU laps the field.

How to cover Mike Evans was a big question mark for me going into this game. I watched a few A&M games throughout the season, and he made play after play after play. But The Rash stuck to him like a baaaaaad STD! It's going to be fun to watch him grow up as a Tiger.

If our corner play is what caused JFF to be so wildly inaccurate then I don't think he's going to make it in the NFL.
I think he just had a bad day and our defense had a good day.

Our young corners played great, but it was D line playing smart, disciplined, and relentless made the difference. They contained and pressured manziel at the same time. He was surrounded by the defenders and they stayed in his face, but did not try individually make the play on their own. Manziel never got comfortable or set in his throws. Great teamwork by the whole defense. If Manziel was comfortable in the pocket, those receivers would have had much bigger games. Great work by the D, particularly d line as a whole.

In fairness, JFF missed his receivers on a number of occasions when they had beaten their coverage badly. But clearly the kids have gotten better.
