Headed into Saturday’s matchup substitutions were sure to be plentiful, as both teams sought to get their starters some repetitions ahead of their more meaningful Nov. 4 Eastern Conference semifinal bout.
The Alouettes were the first on the board early on, thanks to their special teams unit. Hamilton’s McAllister returned 18 yards off the kickoff, only to fumble the ball, forced by Montreal’s Marc-Antoine Dequoy. Alouettes’ Tysen-Otis Copeland recovered, allowing the Alouettes to gain possession and start on a 30-yard drive, capped off by a six-yard touchdown pass to Tyson Philpot.
Just before the end of the first quarter, the Tiger-Cats got on the board with a successful 29-yard field goal from kicker Marc Liegghio after his first attempt was wiped off due to a five-yard procedure penalty. The Alouettes headed into the second quarter up 7-3. Shortly after this play, Alouettes coach Jason Maas subbed in quarterback Caleb Evans. Starter Fajardo closed out his game with a total of 55 yards and one touchdown pass.
