The Sooners' head coach told Paul Finebaum on Monday that OU isn't a 'Johnny Come Lately' program and that there's plenty of reason for excitement.
After Finebaum met with the Texas Longhorns in Austin on Sunday and asked the Sooners’ coach why Texas is getting so much attention this offseason after making its first ever College Football Playoff appearance and winning just its fourth-ever Big 12 title last year, Venables focused instead on his own program.
“And again, this is a game of development, so wherever he ended the season — we had a lot of opportunities to win that game — wherever he ended the season in his first collegiate start, he’ll be on another planet. My expectation of where we start at the beginning of the year, he’ll develop and get better. He’s tough, he’s got great self-awareness to him. He’s got all the traits that allow you to have to kind of go through it, both the good and the bad, and he responds to adversity.
