GAME TIME : Sunday, November 17th at 2:30pm McMahon Stadium
TELEVISED : TSN and NBCSN(tape delay)

It should be a good game on Sunday. The last time the two played each other at McMahon Stadium, Stamps defeated the Riders 29-25. During the game Cornish proved who's really the #1 RB in the CFL while Kory Sheets who claimed he is the best in the league was pouting on the sidelines and fought with their Offensive Coordinator George Cortez. Also, at the end of the game DB Dwight Anderson claimed that they will beat the Stampeders in the Western Final and he even said 'Calgary sucks!'. Okay, Dwight put your money where your mouth.

In 3 games this season between the two teams, Calgary won both games at McMahon Stadium 42-27 in Week 7 and 29-25 in Week 18. Riders on the other hand won the only game in Regina 36-21 in Week 2.

OFFENSE:

Most Outstanding Player of the Year and Canadian Player of the Year Finalist RB Jon Cornish did not play the whole game on Week 18. Cornish won the rushing title but did not beat Willie Burden's franchise record as he got a slight injury on the 3rd quarter. Cornish is healthy and planning to play the whole game. Cornish rushed 36 times for 326 yards with 5 rushing TDs in 3 games against the Riders this season.

QB Kevin Glenn will start for the Stampeders. Glenn struggled in the first quarter against BC Lions that prompted Coach Hufnagel to pulled him off the game early and replaced by Drew Tate then Bo Levi Mitchell. Glenn successfully connected on 32 for 45 passing attempts for 338 yards, 2 TD and 1 INT in 3 games against the Riders.

It looks like WR Maurice Price will take the injured Marquay McDaniel's spot as a Slotback on Sunday. Price caught 15 passes for 130 yards and no TD vs Riders this season. SB Jabari Arthur will playing on the other side of the field backing up by SB Brad Sinopli. WR Jeff Fuller and WR Joe West will be playing deep for the Stamps.

DEFENSE :

MLB Juwan Simpson will have to give DT Fred Bishop, Legare, Turner and rookie Earl Okine some help containing RB Kory Sheets and QB Darian Durant. Simpson had 14 tackles, 2 sacks and 1 forced fumbled against the Riders this season. Defensive Player of the Year Finalist and Sackmaster DE Charleston Hughes (12 tackles, 4 sacks and 1 forced fumbled vs Riders) will have to pressure Durant all game and not let him run around the way he did against BC Lions late in the game. DE Cordarro Law, third in the CFL QB sack race will be playing on the other side.

Secondary Derrius Brooks, Brandon Smith, Jonathan Hefney, Jamar Wall, LB/DB Keon Raymond and LB Deron Mayo will have to play against Weston Dressler, Geroy Simon, Chris Getzlaf and Taj Smith. Riders receiver makes an average QB Darian Durant looks like a top notch QB with their acrobatic catches.

SPECIAL TEAM :

Rain, Shine or Snow... Stampeders can always count on the Special Team Player of the Year Finalist Rene Paredes and Punter Rob Maver to do their job well. KR Larry Taylor had an up and down season but lately he's been playing well. I think he might break out vs Riders this Sunday.

************************************************** *
I am so pumped up about this game. People that I know who are Riders' fans started yapping and trash talking already. Hopefully Stampeders can help me shut them up.

GO STAMPS GO!!
