Did the DL elevate their play and help the secondary and LB's, or was it the other way around?

Still trying to figure it out while watching the replay. Either way I hope it continues. Most complete game so far minus penalties.

Secondary ... Robinson took away JFF's security blanket. The sacks LSU had were basically coverage sacks.

Great overall defensive effort. I was very pleased with their play.

I'd say the entire squad stepped up. The blitz kept Manziel locked inside. The DL shut down gaps. And the DBs obviously did their thing.

DBs followed by the DEs. Totally confused Manziel.

I think it's pretty obvious that pass coverage was the key to the defensive performance. Manziel frequently had lots of time to throw while the DL held their lanes... and then chose to run instead of forcing the ball into coverage. The DL and linebackers, for their part, took great angles all night.
