7 Things – Redblacks @ Stamps

 

1. Us: (2-3)

The Stamps picked up a huge 33-31 victory in Saskatchewan last week to get back in the win column. Rene Paredes, A.K.A Mr. Clutch, hit a dramatic last second field-goal to walk the game off in Regina to move the team to 2-3. QB1 Jake Maier moved the ball well, throwing for 315 yards and two touchdowns.

2. Them: Ottawa Redblacks (2-3)

The Redblacks had their most impressive win of the last few seasons last Saturday, July 15, coming back from a 25-6 fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Blue Bombers 31-28 in overtime. First-time CFL starter Dustin Crum was huge in the win.
