Texas A&M's Von Miller: A combination of "Finesse and violence"

LSU offensive tackle Joseph Barksdale will have the pleasure of trying to block Texas A&M outside linebacker Von Miller, the Butkus Award winner.

Barksdale was asked what makes Miller a special player.

"His mix of finesse and violence," Barksdale said. "Most of the time you find one or the other. When you can use both, that's when you're really effective."

Barksdale has spent time studying Miller's mixed bag of moves to get to the passer.

"He's definitely someone you have to get ready for," Barksdale said. "He has a lot of moves. Any time you're a talented player, you've got more than just a rip or a spin move."
