They seem to think a little smaller is better. Hope this link works.

Good article.  Thanks for posting.

I like this paragraph best:

If there's likely to be a reckoning for the skinnied-up Tigers defense, it might come on Nov. 5 when they head to Tuscaloosa to play Alabama. The Crimson Tide runs a conventional, pro-style offense from behind a jumbo-size line that averages 6 feet 4, 313 pounds. Those blockers, paired with 224-pound running back Trent Richardson, can make any defense look small.

I think their idea of skinny is going to hurt as the season grows. The constant pounding and beating they take will eventually wear them down I think. By season end they will be really tired. RTR!

To simulate the rapid pace at which Oregon snaps the ball, Miles came up with a novel idea at spring practice: He had the defense work against two offenses. As soon as one offense finished running a play, a fresh new one trotted out. Miles liked it so much he carried it over to the preseason. "I want you to imagine practicing against a hurry-up Oregon offense in the middle of the summer," Montgomery said, "in Louisiana."

Imagine Les trying to keep up with TWO clocks. LOL

That is funny!

Also, that is a good idea for getting your defense in condition for an up tempo offense. I doubt that Miles came up with that by himself.
