Overview
The Ottawa REDBLACKS head to Vancouver riding the momentum from their stunning 34-33 comeback victory over BC in Week 14. Despite their 4-8 record, Ottawa showed resilience by scoring 18 fourth-quarter points to overcome the Lions. The REDBLACKS can move into a tie with Montreal for second place in the East Division with another victory.
Key Players
Dustin Crum (QB) - Recorded his first 300+ yard passing game (301 yards) against BC last week, adding 69 rushing yards and three total touchdowns
Eugene Lewis (WR) - Leading receiver with 53 catches for 740 yards and 5 touchdowns on 86 targets
Justin Hardy (WR) - Second in receiving with 52 catches, 679 yards and 6 touchdowns, recently passed Jock Clime for ninth on Ottawa's all-time receiving list
William Stanback (RB) - Top rusher with 105 carries for 509 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus 21 receptions
Mark Milton (DB) - Made his REDBLACKS debut with 5 defensive tackles, an interception and a forced fumble against BC
Keys to the Game
Carry the Momentum - Ottawa must translate their second-half performance from Week 14 into a full game effort, as they've been held scoreless in the first quarter in five of their last six games
Dustin Crum's Consistency - The quarterback needs to replicate his dynamic performance against the same BC defense that he torched for 301 passing yards and 69 rushing yards
Secondary Pressure - Lucas Cormier and Mark Milton had interceptions last week, and the defense must continue creating turnovers against Nathan Rourke's aerial attack
