Last week UBC did a really good job limiting Manitobaβs ground game while Albertaβs ground game dominated in Saskatchewan. Based on how well Albertaβs run game has been as of late I think this is going to be a really close game. However, the way Garrett Rooker is playing lately and the rest of UBCβs passing offense I donβt think itβs going to be enough to upset UBC at home. I predict UBC to win by a score of 30-23.
