Brent Venables walked into Tuesday’s meeting with the media looking a little drained and possibly under the weather. It was obvious he had not slept much and his voice was scratchier than normal as he appeared to be sucking on what looked like a cough drop.
It was also obvious the short week had already taken its toll on the Tigers’ defensive coordinator, and he was still more than 48 hours from kickoff.
“In some ways, yes,” he said. “You just don’t have enough time, or as much time.”
There is a reason why Venables is tired.
