UpdatedEdmonton will chase a third consecutive victory at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday night when it hosts the B.C. Lions . The Elks are 4-2 since Ford, of Niagara Falls, Ont., became the starting quarterback, but those wins have come over the club's last five contests.
But the six-foot-one, 185-pound Ford, Edmonton's '22 first-round pick, has also rushed for 471 yards and three TDs in 47 carries, over that span. And the 25-year-old quarterback has helped rally the Elks to comeback wins over Calgary and Saskatchewan in their last two games.Running back Kevin Brown has run for 662 yards on 86 carries with three TDs over Edmonton's last six games.
The Lions are also coming off an emotional 41-37 home win over Ottawa, rallying from a 19-point deficit. That victory was B.C. head coach Rick Campbell's 70th, the same number his father, Hugh, amassed during his illustrious CFL career.
