teams have been running the option for 75+ years, yet its still effective. I wonder why.
This is exactly what I tell people who are scared to death of Nick Saban stopping the option.
Nebraska owned college football with the option during the 90's. Everybody knew it was coming and spent weeks preparing for it, but still couldn't stop it because Nebraska had the perfect athletes to run it. LSU is in the same boat, just 20 years later when Bama was recruited and trained under Saban to bring pressure and stuff runs up the middle with lockdown corners. There's a total mismatch that's still there, and has not so much to do with scheming but moreso with athletes.

Stopping the option is basically playing fundamentally sound on every play. Different formations are gonna assign different responsibilities. With this mixed in with the pro styled offense that we run, it stresses a defense to the max.

If Lee didn't play in the first half of the Georgia game when we had NO first downs, what makes you think he will play in biggest game of the year. Lee's playing time has been reduced to taking a knee. Miles will not put him in no matter how bad Jefferson plays.
