UCF coach Scott Frost's push for speed challenges more than just players

Jovan DeWitt glanced down at his black FitBit bracelet and counted around 4,000 steps taken while coaching his linebackers one day during UCF football preseason camp.

It wasn't a UCFast kind of day.

"I put on a lazy day today," DeWitt said before breaking into a sly grin. "Usually it's around six miles."

Make that a six-mile jog for a few hours while simultaneously yelling and coaches can work themselves into quite the sweat steering the Knights' new Oregon-style system. It's no wonder most of the staff observes a rigorous workout routine to help them better chase around 20-something year-old Football Bowl Subdivision athletes.
