And if the DE was told to maintain outside leverage, he won. If the DE was told to 2-gap, he was lined up wrong from the start. Personally I think the OT was told to drive the DE off the line and the DE was told to hold his ground and maintain outside leverage. The DE got driven back two steps, maintained his outside leverage, and disengaged with the OT within 1.4-1.6 seconds of the 'snap' based on my amateur stopwatch.

 

What's encouraging for FSU is that Sweat could make the mistake of letting the OL get in on him and with pure strength and athleticism toss him off. Both had technique issues there and I like Sweat's upside more than Ivey's, but both are great gets.
