Keep him between the tackles and stay gap sound. Don't rush up the field! Make him a pocket passer as much as possible.
Cover the receivers and tackle them immediately. No missed tackles!

LSU did it right because their defensive ends did not get greedy.
Too many opposing defensive ends have seen Johnny start to scramble, looking for an open receiver, and try to go full steam ahead at him trying to get a sack in the back field before he gets a pass off. They get over aggressive and Johnny slips by them.
Instead, they need to stay home and be disciplined, and keep contain. I know, I know, "If we don't tackle him he will get a pass off!". That is what you want him to do. If he is scrambling, he has no open receiver. Johnny is a better runner than passer, so take your chances with him throwing the ball instead of running for a first down. LSU did that and he threw 3 picks.
If contain is kept, he either throws the ball, or has to scramble up the middle. Better that than him scrambling and turning the corner.
