Other teams are unlikely to master this defense as well as UC Davis. But it is on tape, and they will get ideas. I have ugly memories of Cal coming up with the killer defense against us in 2023 even though they narrowly lost the game, but then watched USC use it a week later to defeat us. Maybe USC comes up with that defense without the benefit of the Cal tape, but it did not help us to have our weaknesses exposed.
Are those other teams facing the Princeton offense every day in practice? One builds up instincts by practice.

I disagree... We held their score down by 21 points over their previous game. DEFENSE is why Stanford won. Rebounding differential was a big part of that.
Look at the 3rd quarter. Our defense failed us there. Perhaps the officiating contributed to the defensive problems in that quarter.
