Game Time: 7:00pm Friday, September 18th at McMahon Stadium
TV: TSN, ESPN3

Calgary Stampeders, unbeaten at home so far this season will be facing the BC Lions tonight at McMahon Stadium. Stamps never lost a back-to-back games for a few seasons now and they are not planning on breaking that tradition tonight.

OFFENSE:
Look who's back??? RB Jon Cornish will play his first game since he broke his thumb. Stamps without Cornish did not really established a running game and relied on the passing of Mitchell most of the time. Makes you wonder why Mitchell was a bit of inconsistent as of late. Last season against the BC Lions, Cornish carried the ball 20 times for 156 rushing yards on Week 14. No offense to Matt Walter but he didn't really took advantage of his opportunities except for that one game against Saskatchewan. Offensive Line who's been marred with injuries this season lost another OLine to injury last week. Guard Brad Erdos will not play tonight and will be replaced by John Estes in the lineup DT/OL Quinn Smith been practicing with the OLine all week will be backing up Spencer Wilson. Looks like Garry Williams will be in the lineup tonight.

DEFENSE:
Tough lost for the team last week in Edmonton. Defense as a group did not play well last week and the DB got torched by Mike Reilly a few times. Even the ever dependable LB/DB Keon Raymond got beat a couple of times. Good news is DB Brandon Smith will be back in the lineup but unfortunately rookie DB Ciante Evans got injured last week. Look for our defense to bounce back against QB John Beck tonight.

SPECIAL TEAM:
Returner Nathan Slaughter played his first game last week but was not a factor. Special Team group has been the weakest link for this team. This group is very undisciplined with penalties. Last week alone they gave the Eskimos the ball back on Special Team penalty for roughing the kicker. In their defense, referee made a big mistake on that call as they bought Punter Sean Whyte's acting. The majority of the penalties was for holding or illegal block. Positive about the special team is Kicker Rene Paredes. He seems to be back on his formand Punter Rob Maver is consistently playing well with directional punting.
