Syracuse Football: Charley Loeb Will Out-Tug You Any Day Of The Week

Here's what I learned watching this video of the Syracuse Orange football team using The Tug, a tool used in non-contact team competition drills.

0:41: Charley Loeb vs. Jeremi Wilkes. A duel for the ages. With all the arm-switching, one-handed battling, falling down and getting back up, it's like watching two Jedis in their Tug prime. Eventually, Charley and his jeggings take advantage and win the day. On this day, Loeb is our true leader.
