The Rematch: Stampeders beat Edmonton Eskimos a couple of times already this season and the third edition will be played in Edmonton on Saturday, September 6th. Calgary won 10 in a row against the Eskies in regular season games.
Head Coach John Hufnagel tied Wally Buono for most wins by a Calgary coach versus Edmonton with 17. Hufnagel is 17-5 versus Edmonton while Buono was 17-23.
I am sure Eskies defense will be focuing their mind in stopping RB Cornish ran over them the same way they got embarrassed on Labour Day game. The rematch game is usually a tighter game than the Labour Day game.

OFFENSE :

It seems like every game Stampeders are playing a different group of Offensive Linemen, but whoever plays doesn't seem to miss a beat. Case in point when OG Dan Federkeil left due to neck injury, rookie Pierre Lavertu played in his position and he did well. With Federkeil out for the game vs Eskimos, watch for Veteran Edwin Harrison to take his starting spot as OG. Harrison has been a victim of ratio problem that is why he's been a healthy scratch a lot this season. OLine need to repeat their strong play tomorrow night.
QB Bo Levi Mitchell spread the ball around on Zlabour Day game. He completed 252 yards total and spread it around to 9 different receivers. BLM also rushed for 24 yards and 1 TD pass.
In his second game after coming back from concussion injury, RB Jon Cornish torched the Eskimos and rushed for 163 yards and 1 TD that earned him a double weekly CFL award (Offensive Player of the Week and Canadian Player of the Week). WR Maurice Price in his first game back from injury was 4 for 53 yards while his partner WR Joe West only caught one pass for 18 yards. Tomorrow night, we won't have the MoJo combination as West won't be playing to attend his brother's funeral. SB Nik Lewis caught 4 passes for 42 yards but he contributed more with his blocking. SB Marquay McDaniel also caught 4 passes for 53 yards had 300 career catch and also surpassed 4,000 career receiving yards.

DEFENSE :

What about our defense? They just proved to the TSN panel who's got the best defense in the CFL. The defense led by DE Shawn Lemon played spectacular defense all night not giving up an offensive TD 2 games in a row and only gave up 2 FGs. Lemon had 4 tackles, 1 QB sack and 1 forced fumble and he was flying all game. LB Deron Mayo also played well and had 4 tacles and 1 QB. DE Charleston Hughes had the other QB sack. DB Josh Bell and DB Jamar Wall led the team with 5 tackles each.

SPECIAL TEAM :

Coverage team was great all game stopping Eskies returner for a short yardage return. They are one of the reason why the Eskimos had to play deep in their territory most of the game.

DEPTH CHART :

According to Stampeders' tweet regarding their depth chart, FB Rob Cote, LB Yannick Carter, WR/Ret Sederrick Cunningham, DT Freddie Bishop III and OG Edwin Harrison are going back to the lineup replacing LB Alvin Bowen, FB Charlie Power, injured OG Dan Federkeil and WR Joe West.
