The opening drive for the Lions had a not so pleasant sight as QB Travis Lulay went down with what is presumed to be a season-ending injury.
Update: Travis Lulay will NOT return to tonight’s game.#CFLGameDay pic.twitter.com/D8Sws9295a

#BCLions believe ACL tear for Lulay with possible MCL & cartilage damage. Waiting for MRI to confirm. Season ending surgery expected. #CFL

This meant Jonathon Jennings came in at QB & he looked like himself again:

The second half was all about “Mo” Leggett

To wrap up the day we had the Battle of Alberta 2.0
This game was a little bit slow up until late in the 2nd half:.
And that’s it for the third.
