The BC Lions (2-1) play host to the Toronto Argonauts (2-1) in an intriguing cross-divisional tilt on Friday night at BC Place. Fans across BC and those heading down to the game can tune into the TSN1040 pregame show starting at 5:00 pm.
The Lions are coming off two big wins over the Saskatchewan Roughriders including Friday’s 27-24 road effort and sit in a second-place tie in the West Division with the Edmonton Eskimos with a 2-1 record on the year. Toronto rolls into Vancouver after a bye-week and will be well rested as they look to build on a similar 2-1 record which is tops in the East Division.
Travis Lulay, who was named the CFL’s Top Performer a week ago, did almost as much damage with his feet (105 rushing yards) as he did with his arm (127 passing yards) in Regina, the first time the QB his the 100-yards-rushing mark in his CFL career.
With another 94 yards on the ground and 24 more through the air coming from running back Andrew Harris to go along with a pair of TD receptions from newcomer A.C. Leonard – his first in the CFL – the Lions pounded-out a huge series-clinching win over the ‘Riders.
Perhaps most impressive over the past two weeks is the play of the club’s offensive line which did not give up a sack in back-to-back games against a talented Saskatchewan defensive line. It all starts in the trenches and the Lions will look to the big men up front to set an early tone versus a tough Argos defence.
Speaking of defence, the Lions will get their first look at Argos pivot Trevor Harris as the talented back-up carries the load while Ricky Ray continues with his shoulder rehabilitation. Harris’ 74.7 completion percentage and efficiency rating of 121.5 are tops among all CFL quarterbacks which means Friday’s game could be another offensive shootout similar to the Lions’ overtime thriller two weeks ago.
Since returning to their home digs at BC Place midway through the 2011 campaign, the Lions have built-up an impressive 25-7 regular season home record and are 7-3 versus the Boatmen over their past 10 meetings. It’s a key matchup between two clubs looking to keep their early-season momentum moving forward as the Lions and Argos tangle Friday night.
