Adam Sinagra needs 309 passing yards in the regular season finale against Alberta to set a new USports single season record (currently held by Noah Picton of Regina who set the mark two years ago). I have to think Sinagra is a strong candidate for the Hec Creighton trophy as well.
The Mustangs, who crushed Windsor 66-14 last Thursday in London to improve to 6-0 on the season, received 111 points from the Football Reporters of Canada panel in this week’s voting and an additional 120 from the ELO Rating System for a combined total of 231.
The 2017 Vanier Cup finalist Laval Rouge et Or (6-0 / 219 points) follow in second place for the seventh straight Tuesday, while the No. 3 Calgary Dinos (5-0 / 196), No. 4 Montreal Carabins (4-2 / 168), No. 5 Ottawa Gee-Gees (5-1 / 119) and No. 6 Saint Mary’s Huskies (6-0 / 90) also stay put this week.
Rounding out the seventh top 10 of the campaign are the No. 7 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks (3-3 / 90 / up one position), No. 8 Saskatchewan Huskies (3-2 / 62 / down one), No. 9 McMaster Marauders (4-2 / 58 / previously unranked) and No. 10 Guelph Gryphons (3-3 / 39 / no change).
Dinos finish the regular season with an unblemished 8-0 record as they rout the Golden Bears 52-6 and Adam Sinagra sets a new USPORTS passing yards record.
T-Birds had a 10-0 lead but the Huskies respond with 17 unanswered points to lead 17-10 at the half. The winner of this game travels to Calgary next Saturday to play the Dinos in the Hardy Cup.

Just a reminder, 82nd Hardy Cup goes Saturday at McMahon between the Dinos and Huskies. They'll be hard-pressed to match last year's game especially the ending.

Good question.
If I was to guess, there isn't anything rule wise to prevent that since blocking the kick behind the line of scrimmage is legal, so blocking it downfield shouldn't be an issue either.
This is all I could find in regards to this and it mentions nothing about goaltending or anything of the sort....i don't think.

SECTION 3 — BLOCKED KICK
Article 1 — Definition
A blocked kick is a kick from scrimmage in which, after being kicked, the ball is prevented from crossing the line of scrimmage because of contact with an opponent or a player of the kicking team who is offside.
It is not a blocked kick if, on a kick from scrimmage, the ball is touched by or touches an opponent or a player of the kicking team who is offside and then crosses the line of scrimmage. Such touching of the ball shall be disregarded.
If the kicked ball, after being touched prior to crossing the line of scrimmage, should strike any part of the receiving team's goal post assembly in flight without touching the ground, an official or a player, it shall be declared dead immediately and awarded to the receiving team on its 25-yard line.
Article 2 — Recovery Of Blocked Kick
If the ball is blocked, without going Out of Bounds, it may legally be recovered by a player of either team. If, however, the ball is recovered by a player of the kicking team, the continuing play shall be considered as any other play from scrimmage.
Article 3 — Blocked Out of Bounds
Where a kick is blocked and the ball goes Out of Bounds:
On first and second down, it shall belong to the team last touching it in the Field of Play, 24 yards in from the Sideline:
at the point where the ball left the Field of Play or,
at the point where the ball was last touched in the Field of Play, whichever point is closer to the Goal Line of the team entitled to possession.
On third down, it shall belong to the non-kicking team at either of the points set out in (a) above.
Article 4 — Blocked Into Goal Area
When a kick is blocked in the Field of Play or Goal Area, and is declared dead in the Goal Area in possession of the kicking team, or goes Out of Bounds in the Goal Area without either team taking possession, a safety touch score shall be awarded to the non-kicking team. No Option.
If I'm comprehending that accurately, the ball cannot be touched beyond the line of scrimmage. But there doesn't seem to be anything explicit about what the consequence would be, if there is one.
Here's a question - in football are you allowed to jump up and block the ball from going over the bar? Any rule against goaltending?
There is nothing in the rulebook or casebook that disallows a field goal from being touched once it has crossed the line of scrimmage. So yes they legally could jump up and block it right at the goalposts to prevent it from going over.
