Lessons from the Oregon game preparation?

I remember reading a lot last year about how the Tigers prepared for Oregon's hurry-up offense, specifically with two offenses alternately running plays while giving the D very little time to catch their breath. Various players commented that they were in much better shape than usual because of that routine, and I thought it sounded like something that could become a standard part of our pre-season work. I later read, however, that some of the D linemen had lost a fair amount of weight as a result and that they had purposely put it back on over the weeks after the Oregon game in preparation for SEC play.
So....the question for all you football theoriticians is: Has anyone heard about any plans to incorporate the "Oregon drills" into this year's pre-season work? And do you think such work should be a standard part of our pre-season prep? What's more important for the linemen: maximum aerobic fitness or weight?

Les said last year that he would incorporate the routine throughout the year. I assume he still uses it.

I certainly agree with all of you, but it sounded later like at least some of the linemen thought they had lost too much weight in the push to get ready for Oregon. I think the results over the rest of the season speak for themselves, but I didn't really know how to take what seemed to be some mild complaints coming from the line. Maybe they just didn't want to have to go through that hell again this year!

Last years defense was tailor made to beat the spread. And we did. But we showed weaknesses at times when teams just lined up against us.
