The Battle for 1st place in the West between the Calgary Stampeders (8-5) and BC Lions (9-4). The BC Lions is 5-1 against the Stampeders in the last 6 games against each other.

OFFENSE:

RB Jon Cornish, who was minus in rushing yardage the last time these two teams played against each other at McMahon Stadium, once again won the Canadian Player of the Week for the 6th time this season. He was front and centre on the Stamps victory over the Eskimos last week rushing for 180 yards and scoring 2 TD run. Cornish also broke his 1,000 yards in his CFL career with a terrific 73 yards scamper for a TD, longest run in his career.

Stampeders rushed for the total of 241 yards on the night, also another season high. They are 2nd in CFL with an average of 126 yards per game. RB Matt Walter chipped in with 55 rushing yards last week.

R Joe West had a career day in a win with 6 catches for 135 yards. R Nik Lewis was 5 for 64 yards and 1 TD while WR Johnny Forzani caught 2 passes for 44 yards and 1 TD.

QB Kevin Glenn will play his 200 CFL game. He is currently in 12th place on the CFL's All-Time passing yardage list.

Both Cornish and Nik Lewis missed one practice this week due to flu. Joe West missed practice due to injury but will play vs BC.

DEFENSE:

Overall, the Stamps defense played well against the rookie QB Nicholls of the Eskimos. LB Malik Jackson played really well last week with 5 tackles and 1 QB sack, his 2nd of the season. LB Juwan Simpson is 8th in the league with 60 tackles for the year. DE JUnior Turner tied a career high with his 4 tackles. Stampeders registered 3 QB sacks on the night.
DE Charleston Hughes had his 7th sack to tie his career best for a season and is in 3rd place in the CFL sack race. CB Keon Raymond picked an INT and had 2 tackles on the night.
Stampeders is ranked 3rd in run defense at 97.1 yards per game allowed.
Rookie DL Stover played his first game last week but did not last the game because of the injury. DE Stevie Baggs practiced on Tuesday but left early on practice on Wednesday. He is questionable for the game against the BC Lions.

SPECIAL TEAM:

KR Jason Armstead made his debut last week totalling 104 yards on 8 returns.

Stampeders leads the CFL in punt return coverage limiting opponents to just 6.6 yards per punt return. K Rene Paredes was a perfect 3 for 3 in field goal attempts and now has 114 points in the season to make him tied for 3rd place in the CFL.
