MONTREAL — B.C. Lions head coach Rick Campbell believes Nathan Rourke is just getting rolling since returning from the NFL last month.
Rourke will make his fourth consecutive start when the Lions visit the league-leading Montreal Alouettes at Molson Stadium on Friday night.
Campbell said he wouldn’t rule out using both pivots in a game down the line. But as Adams eases back into form, Rourke is the guy."They have a little momentum,” Montreal linebacker Darnell Sankey said. “First couple games I don't think Rourke really performed at his best, but he had a good last game and kind of showed the league what he's about."
Rourke will match up against the CFL’s top defence with the Alouettes conceding a league-low 18.7 offensive points per game. Montreal will have to keep stacking wins without wide receiver Austin Mack for now. The Alouettes added Mack to the six-game injured list Friday after he injured his ankle at practice Wednesday.
