The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn't get off to the best start, but all that mattered was they finished with a 27-24 win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Friday night.
After a back-and-forth second half with several lead changes, Ottawa seemed poised to answer in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter.Down by three, the Redblacks were approaching midfield when rookie quarterback Dustin Crum had the ball knocked out of his hands. Hamilton's Ted Laurent recovered with 69 seconds left and after a pair of rushing plays, the Tiger-Cats ran out the clock for the win.
Crum went 17 for 26 for 260 yards and one interception. He also rushed for 42 yards and one touchdown. Hamilton led 6-3 at the half after two Marc Liegghio field goals. Powell hit his stride in the second half. Ottawa's kicking game was ineffective at times as a 45-yard field-goal attempt by Lewis Ward hit the goalpost and a 50-yard attempt at the end of the half went wide."I don't think it's a matter of rust," said Dyce. "I think it's a matter of executing when it's most important and we weren't able to do that."
Ottawa replied with a 10-play drive concluding with Tyrrell Pigrome punching in a one-yard TD. Hamilton then marched down the field and Powell connected with Tim White on a five-yard TD pass.
