Everything went well. The doctor told him that he should be ready to go by the time next season begins.

He has been a guy who has been talked about as a rotation guy. We haven't done it yet.

Did he interfere with Widmann? No, but the rule says you have to go straight in and he didn't go straight in.

Everybody has turned it up a notch. The teams that were a little bit short years ago have narrowed the gap. You can't pick a team to play. It's one of those things that's hard to put a finger on other than to say, 'Everybody's good.' And it's not just coach talk.

Quinnipiac isn't in awe of South Carolina, and they are coming down here to win. The fact that we were able to answer whenever they got some runs was big.
