That really is the issue. You'd have to play Navy, Georgia Tech, and every decent current option team to prepare. Then you'd have to make sure your run the ball enough to make sure your defense doesn't gas. Frazier also threw the ball better than most triple option teams. Your pass rush won't catch them though because you're always playing the run. If you don't get murdered in time of possession, then there's a shot. Nebraska was just such an amazing team though.

Exactly. Wistrom wasn't a beastly TE for no reason. Frazier could throw the ball and he would pull up on that option and fire it downfield to Wistrom streaking wide open all the time when the defense crept up to stop Frazier and Green in the running game. It was really a lose/lose situation no matter what you did. They're the greatest team of all time for a reason. They were great in every aspect of the game.

-They allowed ZERO sacks, the entire season. ZERO....the entire season.
-They allowed 5 punt returns all season for a net total of 12 yards. That's all season. 5 returns. 12 yards total.
-They averaged 52.3 points per game and gave up 14.5 points per game. That's all season.
-They beat four teams during the season that finished the year in the AP top 10, each by more than 20 points.

That's absurd.
