Montreal Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo is eager to get back on track Saturday after last week didn’t go to plan.
“We didn't play our best game the week prior against Winnipeg,” Fajardo said at Olympic Park. “So we're all excited just to have a full week of prep this week, myself included. B.C. began the season very strong defensively, and still tops the CFL in points allowed with 19.7 per game — two shutouts against the Edmonton Elks help. However, the Lions have allowed 30 or more points in three of their last four games.
Lions head coach and co-general manager Rick Campbell is expecting the Alouettes to want to run the ball after B.C. was “pushed around up front” last week.“We need to limit the big plays, which we normally do and we haven't done that consistently lately,” he told The Canadian Press, “and then tackling, we were a very good tackling team and that fell off a bit.”
However, defensive back Ciante Evans, who had three interceptions in two games before sustaining a leg injury earlier this year, will return to the lineup.
