[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 480433, member: 1045"] I think there is some truth to the idea that teams that face the option every year generally do better against us. That said, there are loads of variables, including the relative talent of the teams in any given year, whether they have a new DC, and how experienced the actually players on D are. In general though, if a team like Duke can get defensive players that are “old and stay old” with experience against the option, that does help. On the flip side, there is a reason why we are something like 10-1 against the rotating Atlantic division that rarely sees us. I also think teams benefit with extra time to prepare like a bye week. The data bears that out. We have a significantly worse record against teams that had an extra week to prepare for us when we didn’t have one to prepare for them. That said, we also have a significantly better record against teams when we have a bye and they don’t, so it ain’t all about our system. [/QUOTE]
