None taken, DH. BTW, that wasn't my post about rugby keys to success. However, there is some overlap between the two sports and what is necessary to win at the highest levels. Both require a meshing of intellect and athletic ability and both require mental and physical "courage" to use Bill Conley's term. This team will get there under Tressel. I would be less confident of that if Cooper was still the coach. They certainly have the athletic skill to be successful. They need repetition and to develop the game-sense that is hard to simulate. They also need to attack and play aggressively while they are developing. Getting there fast and with bad intentions can cover many sins. Letting the game come to them will not work at this point, obviously.
