“This year is obviously incredibly important,” Venables said, via On3. “We’ve worked really hard the last couple of years to prepare for this moment. But what’s sitting in front of us right now is trying to put together the best roster that we can and have these guys as well prepared as we can.”

“You’re going to figure out a lot, you’re going to learn a lot through this transition. But this isn’t as much about where we’re going as who we’re going in with, and it’s not as much about proving people wrong because we are trying to prove each other right,” Venables said. “And we worked really, really hard though with both our programming, and our roster, the vision of our program for both the short term and the long term to what we need to do to transition to the SEC.”

“This is a league that is really, really hard top to bottom and the margin for error is very small. So it’s thin air if you will, but that’s what this program has been about for a long time," Venables said.

“We’re running towards the SEC and with great expectations and excitement, and again, this will be a launching point for this program moving forward.”
