CALGARY — When the Calgary Stampeders step onto the field at McMahon Stadium on Thursday night to face the Ottawa Redblacks, they’ll have something to prove.
Intent on keeping their perfect home record intact, the Stampeders will also be out to avenge a lopsided 33-6 setback they suffered in Ottawa to the Redblacks on July 26.
The Stamps will also be looking to bounce back from a 39-25 road loss to the Toronto Argonauts last Friday. Before heading to Calgary on Wednesday, Ottawa coach Bob Dyce spoke with local media about what sort of challenges his team will face against the Stamps at McMahon Stadium. Calgary cornerback Demerio Houston leads the Stamps with four interceptions this season, including two at the end of home games to lock down victories for his team.
“I just feel like they had some good play calls that we really weren’t ready for communicating-wise on the defensive side of the ball,” he said. “I feel like we’re mentally ready. We’re at home. We’re going to have the crowd cheering us on, so we’ll be ready.” "It was pretty much, do what you’ve got to do,” Houston said. “We have 24 hours to get ready for the game. Yes, we have a bye week, but earn your bye week. I don’t need guys to look ahead to the bye week. Handle business tomorrow and then enjoy your bye week."
