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.
