The Saskatchewan Roughriders were playing for pride this week after being eliminated form the playoffs in Week 16 action. BC, on the other hand, were assured of a playoff berth and were looking to gain ground on Edmonton in their efforts secure second place in the West Division. The Lions got off to a quick start when RB Robert Drummond found a seam on the Lions’ first drive of the game and galloped 64 yards downfield for the score at 1:11 of the first quarter. K Lui Passaglia’s convert was good giving the Leo’s a 7-point advantage. However, Saskatchewan quickly replied when Drummond’s counterpart Mike Saunders, took the ball in from the 8-yard line at 6:23. K Paul McCallum’s convert tied the game at 7. WR Eddie Brown re-established BC’s 7-point cushion before the end of the quarter when he grabbed QB Damon Allen’s 25-yard pass at 9:17. Passaglia’s convert was good. In the second quarter Passaglia struck a pair of FGs from 23 and 26 yards respectively giving BC a 13-point lead. However, FB Shawn Daniels cut into that lead 4:37 later when he plunged into the end zone from the 1-yard line. McCallum’s convert made the score 20-14 for BC. Passaglia added a 36-yard FG at 13:46 before QB Reggie Slack called his own number and scrambled 5 yards to the end zone at 14:36. McCallum’s convert completed the scoring in the half with the Lions leading 23-21. Passaglia opened the scoring in the third stanza by hoofing FGs of 12 and 44 yards to run up the Lions point total to 29. McCallum responded with a 43-yard FG at 12:54 before Passaglia nailed his sixth FG of the night from 46 yards out at 14:52 giving the Lions a 32-24 advantage heading into the final period of play. At 5:17 Drummond scored his second rushing TD of the game rumbling in from the 9-yard line. Passaglia’s convert was good, as was his 49-yard FG attempt at 11:14. At 12:55 Slack scored his second rushing TD of the afternoon. The two-point conversion attempt failed but Saskatchewan scored once again at 13:31 when Saunders caught a 13-yard pass from Slack. McCallum’s convert made the final from Taylor Field in Regina, BC 42, Saskatchewan 37.
