The Stamps have never had (in recent) memory a dominant rushing performance in the playoffs. Even with Joffrey's consistency over the years, they always seemed to abandon him in favor of Burris' arm (and legs).
I'd love to see Cornish take over this game and be the difference maker that they'll need on offence. If Glenn can find Lewis in space and get some big plays out of Mo Price and/or Romby Bryant, hopefully that will create enough room for Cornish to get the chains moving and keep BC's offence off the field.
On defence, I'm not so concerned with the loss of Simpson (who was overmatched by Sheets last week) but the status of Keon Raymond. I'm assuming he'll play, but who knows what percent he's at healthwise. We'll need a big game from the front four, to hold the line against the run game and hopefully create some pressure on Lulay.
This team has been resilient all year, and have found ways to win a lot of close games. My fearless prediction: Calgary 32, BC 30.
Go Stamps Go!
