MONTREAL — No. 1 quarterbacks Cody Fajardo and Bo Levi Mitchell will start under centre as the Montreal Alouettes host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday night.
Don't expect either to stay in the game long, however, because it's only a rehearsal for next Saturday's Canadian Football League East Division semifinal.
"I made it very clear to that because we had the bye week I wanted to play in this game and get back into rhythm," said Fajardo."I was playing really good ball going into the bye week and wanted to continue that momentum." The Alouettes hold the advantage in that department so far, having gone 2-0 against the Ticats by a combined score of 65-26 this season. Neither game featured Mitchell.
Reaching that number would be especially notable after many pre-season predictions had Montreal finishing near the bottom due to an off-season derailed by ownership uncertainty. The Alouettes' season has played out in a clearcut fashion so far — they're a level below the league's best and step above the rest.
