While the RJ Oben strip-sack was quite a play, and probably WAS the defensive play of the year up to that point, the rush by Sneed that enabled the interception by Gray against PSU was probably the most important combination defensive play of the year (multiple levels of the D created that turnover). Watching Sneed's rush unfold, he played possum until just the right moment and then blew past that tackle like his feet were stuck in cement. If he tries to bull-rush, he never (probably) gets close to home.
