The gauntlet that is the SEC schedule starts tomorrow. How are you approaching it?
โI mean, itโs here. Thereโs no hiding from it. You just got to take it straight on. It isnโt for the faint of heart; it is for programs that want to win national championships. If you play in the SEC, it affords you to compete for national championships. And weโre excited about that.โ
