HAMILTON — Orlondo Steinauer wasn't tipping his hand Thursday regarding who'll be his starting quarterback Saturday.
The Hamilton head coach says he's expecting both veterans Bo Levi Mitchell and Matt Shiltz to play when the Tiger-Cats visit the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division semifinal. When pressed, Steinauer said the club has determined who'll start the playoff game but wouldn't reveal who it will be.
"How much, that will be determined by us. I think what's most important is that internally we know exactly the plan and what we're doing. The most important thing is that Bo, Matt and Kai understand their roles heading into this game and the possibilities and really that's the focus."Mitchell, 33, was the starter for Hamilton's final three regular-season games after sustaining a fractured leg July 28 against Ottawa that required surgery.
The six-foot-two, 199-pound Mitchell completed 78-of-133 passes for 1,031 yards with six TDs and 10 interceptions this season.
