As expected it was a high scoring game between the Stampeders and Alouettes. Two of the best QB in the CFL did not disappoint their fans. Burris passed for 26/42 with 422 yards run for 1 TD and tossed 3 TD passes (2 for Forzani and 1 for Rambo). Calvillo 28/49 369 yards and tossed for 3 TDs but threw 1 INT late in the game. It was pretty much mistakes-free for both QB.
Three receivers for Stampeders caught over 100 yards. Johnnie Forzani had a monster game. He caught 6 passes for 101 yards and 2 TDs, Nik "Geronimo" Lewis also had a monster game caught 7 for 121 yards and Ken-Yon Rambo 5/111 1 TD.
Defense made some adjustments in the 2nd half and did a good job stopping Calvillo especially in the 3rd quarter. Calvillo targeted LB Brandon Isaac early in the game matching against Jamel Richardson. We didn't really see Calvillo throwing the ball against Brandon Smith, Greg Fassit or Geoff Tisdale much. It was mostly against Isaac and Raymond. Overall, the defense just did enough to help the Stamps win the game.
It was an exciting game to watch.
