It was great to see. You stop the pass with pressure, not duck and cover. I am glad Gibson is coming around to it. Nevertheless, I still think Gibson needs to get more aggressive on some of those third and longs by rushing at least 4. I also saw him do a corner blitz from the QB's throwing side, which is a risk that I wouldn't take. In fact, on that play, the KSU QB picked it up and completed the pass.
