I remember reading this when it was posted last year. If you're going to be a hurry-up, no-huddle offense, you have to condition like it. I think we're going to be one heck of an exciting team next year. And I think we finally have what we need in a HC.

"When you picture football players lifting weights, you might think of beefy guys hoisting as much steel on their backs as they can, then resting to catch their breath or check out their muscles in the mirror. But Lawson's workout barely pauses. Players dash from circuit to circuit in a hurry, interrupted only by the sounds of Lawson blowing his whistle or barking out new assigned sets. "Controlled chaos" is how offensive lineman Alex Hoffman describes it.
This chaos serves a purpose. Cincinnati operates a no-huddle offense under head coach Butch Jones, who wants to play a tempo as fast as anybody in the country. To that end, signs around the Bearcats' football facility read "6-3." The six represents the number of seconds in the average play in football. The three is for first, second and third down.
"We pride ourselves on playing hard for six seconds and giving three great efforts,'Jones said. 'So what we do in the weight room has to match what we do on the field.' "
