Running back Brady Oliveira pumped up to start in place of injured Winnipeg star Andrew Harris as Bombers welcome B.C. Lions
The Blue Bombers running back will make his fourth start of the season in place of injured Andrew Harris when Winnipeg hosts the B.C. Lions Saturday in a key game for the home team.
Oliveira also started the first three games of the season when fellow Winnipeg-born Harris was out with a calf injury. Oliveira has 61 carries for 300 yards but no touchdowns this season. A few scenarios this weekend other than a win over the Lions could still give the Bombers a home game at IG Field in the West final Dec. 5.
“I think it’s important to win every game that you’re a part of and to treat them all the same,” Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros said.Quarterback Michael Reilly said he treats every game as a must-win no matter where the Lions sit in the standings. “They consistently bring it every single game, right? I think that’s the biggest thing,” Reilly said.
