Cornish, suffering from a thigh injury, is the latest big-name performer to be sidelined.
In his place, Calgary native Matt Walter and rookie import Jonathan Williams will handle the ball-carrying workload for the Red and White.
“Matt’s been in the system,” said Hufnagel of the second-year pro out of the University of Calgary. “When he’s carried the ball, he’s done a good job. It’s going to be a big game for Jonathan Williams. With both him and Matt, we’ll get the job done.”
“Obviously,” said Walter, who starred at Bishop O’Byrne high school, “Cornish being down is not the best thing for us as a team. But I prepare every week like I’m going to start just for that one scenario . . . and I’m ready to help my team out. It’s an exciting opportunity.”
Walter thinks there’s no reason to be nervous on the eve of his big chance.
“Honestly the preparation takes a lot of that away,” he said. “Knowing I’m prepared and, luckily, I have really good coaches who got me ready for this week, so it’s just a matter of executing and going out there and doing what we do best.”
