Zach Collaros is focused on leading Winnipeg (12-4) to a victory over the Elks (4-13) after the Blue Bombers clinched the West Division when the BC Lions lost 41-16 to the Calgary Stampeders on Friday night.
WINNIPEG — Zach Collaros has tunnel vision when it comes to the Blue Bombers home game against the Edmonton Elks on Saturday.
The Bombers have won their last six home games and are on pace for a fourth consecutive sellout at IG Field.Chris Jones, Edmonton’s head coach, defensive co-ordinator and general manager, said the final game of the season will continue to be about evaluating players, just as it was in the club’s 31-25 loss last week to the Montreal Alouettes.
Winnipeg is being forced to make one big change to its lineup as leading receiver Dalton Schoen is out after injuring an ankle Oct. 6. Schoen tops the league with 10 receiving touchdowns and is third in receiving yards with 1,222 through 16 games. Edmonton Canadian quarterback Tre Ford will make his 10th start of his second CFL season. He’s posted a 4-5 record and said he’s still learning and aiming to improve.
Bombers veteran cornerback Winston Rose knows Ford’s skillset and Winnipeg’s defence wants to slow him down on Saturday.
