The best type of pass defense is when your defensive line can get enough pressure on the QB that you don't have to pressure by blitzing. That means you can drop more guys into coverage while still getting a great pass rush. The QB gets no time to throw and when he looks downfield, instead of only seeing 4 guys in the secondary, he sees the 4 DBs and 3 linebackers before he gets slammed by the pass rush.
I think Dantonio is utilizing his deep, rotating defensive line personnel as much as he can and trying to pressure the QB with his front 4.
I am absolutely positive that Tressel and Dantonio save things for Michigan.
