game gave gets goes handled indication michael state
Michael gets up for (games). He goes a little faster. I feel like Marcus is the same way. The way he handled himself, particularly in the N.C. State game (a 20-16 victory), kind of gave you an indication he's the very same guy.
came lead mean second
Marcus said he didn't mean to do it. And he came back to lead us in the second half.
