The B.C. Lions will have their hands full on Saturday with star running back Andrew Harris spearheading a potent Toronto offence
. But Andrew Harris would like nothing more than to run past both clubs — and the exclusive 10,000 yard mark — this season. Harris makes his first appearance in B.C. as an Argo, and is just 252 yards away from cracking the 10K rushing club, that has just four other members. He had 87 yards on 18 carries in his Toronto debut last week.
