Game Notes

Game Summary

It was the match-up Baltimore football fans had been waiting for since last November. A chance for their hometown heroes to go back and prove that last year’s 26-23 B.C. victory was a fluke. Unfortunately, these fans will now have to come to grips that the Lions were for real that Sunday in November and they are for real again this season as they defeated the heavily favoured team from Baltimore 37-34. It was everything it was made out to be as the classic rematch of two evenly matched teams. The Lions got on the board early as RB Cory Philpot carried the ball in from 2 yards out just 3:43 into the opening stanza. Last year’s Grey Cup hero, Lui Passaglia added the convert giving the Lions the 7-0 lead. QB Danny McManus put the Leos up by 13 scoring on a 1 yard run. With the Passaglia convert, B.C. now led by 14. Baltimore K Carlos Huerta closed out the first quarter scoring with an 11 yard FG at 13:36, making the score 14-3 at the end of one. RB Mike Pringle narrowed the gap to just 5 at 3:33 of the 2nd quarter, plunging in from 1 yard out. Huerta added the convert making the score 14-10. Passaglia added another FG to round out the 1st half scoring with B.C. on top by a 17-10 margin. Pringle moved Baltimore to within 1 at 2:15 of the 3rd quarter going in from 1 yard out. Huerta’s convert tied the game with 12:36 left to play in the third. Philpot notched his second TD of the game, this one a 7 yard TD scamper at 5:24 with Passaglia adding the convert. Huerta and Passaglia then traded FG before WR Shannon Culver hooked up with Tracy Ham for a 16 yard pass and run TD with no time showing on the clock. Huerta’s convert made it a 27-27 dead lock after 3 quarters of play. Passaglia connected on a 13 yard FG 7:11 into the final frame. This lead was short lived however as Wright took a Passaglia punt at the 55 and did not look back until he reached the end zone, giving Baltimore a convincing 4 point lead with just 2:42 left to play. With their backs pinned to the wall once again the Lions proceeded to march 38 yards down the field and then with just 15 seconds remaining, Philpot leaped in from 2 yards out giving him his 3rd TD of the game and the Lions the lead. Passaglia added the convert and the Lions emerged victorious once again, this time by a 37-34 margin.
