college dame games sidelines texas top
I was on the sidelines for Notre Dame. I have to say the Notre Dame and Texas games were two of the top 20 games in college history.
dad game good people sounds time win
My dad used to say all the time to go out and win this inning. It's one pitch, one inning, one game at a time. It sounds ridiculous, but people who are good at doing it have more success.
afford dude few game good great guys league player plays
He's just a good dude that plays the game right. Grady just has a great way about him. First off, he's a great player, and he's going to be a great player in this league for a long time. He'll be one of those guys that doesn't really change, other than he'll be able to afford a few more things.
almost cliff deep games gave starters strong tonight
Our starters go deep into games so often that you almost take it for granted. Cliff gave us another strong one tonight after Scotty (Elarton) had one (Monday).
bad bit game good humbling lately time
This game humbles you all the time in good and bad ways. It's been humbling a little bit lately in a bad way, and this is just the same. It's humbling.
although behind best develop europe experience football game guys level nfl obviously second trying
The idea of going over to NFL Europe is to get some game experience, develop as a player, and I feel like that's what I did. I went over there and showed that I can play at this level. Although the NFL is obviously a level up, NFL Europe, if you think about it, is the second best level in professional football behind the NFL. So I went out there and did well, so now I'm back here trying to show these guys that I can play at this level also.
accustomed came consider expect fully good member perform positive season time year
It was a disappointing year for me personally, because I didn't perform at any time during the season the way I'm accustomed to performing. But on the positive side, when you consider where I came from, I still rallied out of it to be a contributing member on a good team. This year, being fully healthy, I expect to make more of an impact.

college elite emerging guy impressive last
He's already emerging as one of the elite closers in the game. That's pretty impressive for a guy who was in college last year.
friends-or-friendship good last
I'm actually pretty good friends with him. I didn't really think much of that last year, or much of this. It's in the game, and that's what happens.
tough
It's disappointing because we were so close, and we all know how tough it is to get that close.
bowl fireworks music super
Kind of like the Super Bowl before the game. All the fireworks and the music blasting.
mistakes
He didn't make many mistakes on the big part of the plate.
cash good pitchers question
It's frustrating, no question about it. As good as our pitchers did to not be able to cash in is frustrating.
