The visitors had touchdowns of 70 and 71 yards en route to a 33\u002D9 win the Canada West season\u002Dopener at McMahon Stadium.
After taking a 2-0 lead early, it was the Bears’ offence that registered the first big play in this one when Hetlinger floated a bubble screen to Kettyle who did the rest himself, turning on the jets and using his blocks well for a 70-yard score with 1:59 left in the first quarter.
Calgary forced a safety to cut the gap to 17-5 late in the first half and then put together their best drive of the night. Starting at their own 35-yard line, new quarterback Dom Britton led the offence all the way down to the Alberta 22-yard line. With less than 20 seconds left on the clock, Britton scrambled and got inside the Bears’ 10-yard line. But a big hit from Reiss Flunder jarred the ball loose in the first of three Alberta takeaways in a real momentum killer for the Dinos.
Newcomer Nick Sua led the ground game in his Dinos debut, finishing with 55 yards on 12 carries, while Britton finished his first game in the Scarlet & Gold going 14-27 for 118 yards.

Alberta is Canada's largest oil-producing province and home to the oil sands, the world's third-biggest crude reserves. 'With rising demand expected to outpace supply, oil markets should tighten in the second half of the year and support prices ... downside risks remain elevated,' said the update, citing China's economic slowdown and the risk posed to growth by high global interest rates.
