Devin Gardner's X League debut turned out to be a bittersweet experience.
The former Michigan quarterback threw a touchdown pass to Jeremy Gallon, another ex-Wolverine, and scored another, but failed to lead his Nojima Sagamihara Rise to a victory over the Obic Seagulls, who came from behind to win 14-13 on Sunday at Fujitsu Stadium Kawasaki.
"The game was OK. It wasn't as good as I would've wanted because we didn't win," said Gardner, who completed 21 of 37 passes for 290 yards. "I expect to win every time. That is how we should take things."
