Alouettes crush Ottawa 29-3, Shawn Lemon reaches 100 career sacks
Montreal Alouettes wide receiver James Letcher Jr., reacts after retiring a punt during second half CFL football action against the Ottawa Redblacks in Montreal on Oct. 9.After sitting on 99 sacks for two games, Shawn Lemon had an added incentive to reach the centennial mark with Mom and Dad making the trip to Montreal on Monday.
That was true when they drove together to land a scholarship at the University of Connecticut more than a decade ago, and true again on Monday. The Alouettes’ defence limited Ottawa to 10 first downs, scored a touchdown courtesy of a scoop-and-score by Tyrice Beverette and had six sacks in total. “They’re disappointed, obviously, the stakes of the outcome of this game. And obviously you’re not gonna have success when you don’t score any touchdowns,” said Ottawa coach Bob Dyce. “We knew to beat this team we had to play well in all three phases, and we didn’t do that.”
On offence, Canadian wide receiver Tyson Philpot had one touchdown and 90 receiving yards for Montreal, which completed a four-game sweep of the Redblacks this season. The 34-year-old Lemon had signed with the B.C. Lions in free agency but was released midway through training camp before taking weeks to join a new team.
