MCMAHON MAGIC: STAMPS WIN 17TH STRAIGHT AT HOME AGAINST ALS
CALGARY — Can anyone stop the surging Stamps?
The Calgary Stampeders cruised to their 10th straight victory with a dominant 59-11 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night at McMahon Stadium.
Terry Williams scored a hat trick of the touchdown variety, racking up three majors and 156 yards on 16 carries. It was the 25 year old’s first CFL start, replacing the injured Jerome Messam.
Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell completed 14 of 19 passes for 265 yards and two touchdowns before being rested midway through the third quarter.
The victory was Calgary’s 17th straight at home.
The game was never in question as the Stamps were in control from start to finish.
On the opening kickoff, Rene Paredes booted the ball 83 yards, and the Als opted to take a knee in the end zone to concede the single. It was the first time in seven games that the Als managed to get on the board in any capacity during the first quarter.
The narrow lead did not last for long. Paredes notched a 32-yard field goal midway through the first quarter to put the Stamps up 3-1.
Calgary extended their lead before the end of the quarter. The Als were called for pass interference in the end zone on first and goal for the Stamps, moving Calgary just outside of the goal line. After two unsuccessful attempts, the third time was the charm as Terry Williams punched into the end zone for the short major.
A two point convert attempt was initially deemed unsuccessful, but after the play was reviewed, it was ruled that Marquay McDaniel scooped up the ball before it hit the ground to give the Stamps an 11-1 lead after the first quarter.
The Als continued to temporarily stick around as Drew Willy moved the sticks with short passes downfield. Bede capped off the drive with a 28-yard field goal to make it a one score game.
Calgary’s offence continued to roll in the second quarter when Mitchell found Marken Michel in stride near the left sideline. The play set the Stamps up at Montreal’s 35 yard line. Three plays later, Mitchell found Anthony Parker alone in the end zone for the Stamps’ second touchdown of the half.
Paredes split the uprights twice midway through the quarter, the first from 42 yards out and the second from 45 yards, to give the Stamps a 21-4 lead.
Calgary wasn’t done there before the quarter was up. Mitchell tossed a perfectly placed ball to McDaniel while in stride for a 49-yard gain. Williams recorded his second touchdown of the night when he powered across the plane to extend the lead to 28-4.
The Alouettes showed that they were not going down without a fight. Willy completed a short pass to Tyrell Sutton, who picked up an additional 16 yards after the catch and ran into the end zone for the Als first touchdown of the game.
Paredes notched his third field goal of the quarter during the final seconds of the half to hold a commanding 31-11 lead after 30 minutes.
The good times kept on rolling for the Stamps in the second half.
Midway through the third quarter, Mitchell spotted Rob Cote wide open in the flats. The veteran finished the play by making the easy run to the house to extend the Stamps lead to 30 points.
Stamps rookie Tunde Adeleke put the nail further in the coffin when he returned an Alouette’s punt 51 yards for a return touchdown. It was the Carleton University products’ second punt return touchdown of his young career.
Williams completed the trio of touchdowns with his most impressive major of the game. The Morristown, New Jersey native surged past the entire Alouettes defensive squad and into the end zone for a 45 yard rushing major to cap off his stellar night.
The Stamps have earned some relaxation as they head into their bye week. They return to the field Oct. 13 to take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on the road. The Alouettes will attempt to halt their seven game losing skid when they return home to take on the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 16.
