Dustin Crum threw a pair of touchdown passes and ran for another to lead the Ottawa Redblacks to a 36-28 win over the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday.
Crum finished with 243 passing yards as the Redblacks halted a seven-game losing streak and held on to their faint playoff hopes.
Crum ran for a 35-yard score seven minutes into the quarter that led to a 38-14 lead for the Redblacks after the conversion. An interception by Deandre Lamont at midfield and returned to the Saskatchewan six-yard line led to a touchdown pass from Crum to Bralon Addison on the next play. The two-point conversion, a pass from Crum to Justin Hardy, gave the Redblacks a 16-13 lead.
A 54-yard punt single by Ritchie Leone narrowed that lead to 13-8 with just over three minutes to play in the half before the defence allowed the offence to shine.
