Victory!

That was satisfying and a long time coming. The Cats beat BC 31 to 28, for the first win in BC since the Greg Marshall (the old head coach, not the defensive coordinator) and apparently also the first victory by an Eastern time zone team in BC since that game. Such is the difficulty of playing late night Pacific time games (what happens if Halifax eventually get a team?).

DeAndra Cobb in at running back to replace the injuried Kenton Keith, Tre Smith and Terry Caulley was awesome, running for 100 yards on fourteen carries and also picking up 75 yards on five receptions. Good blocking by both the offensive line and the receivers down field helped out the Cats tonight. Cobb has to have consideration this week as offensive player of the week.

One annoying thing about the TSN broadcast was missing the first six minutes of the broadcast as they showed the end of the Winnipeg Calgary game which was a blowout. They could have at least put the Cats game start on TSN 2. Fortunately no scoring occurred, but it was annoying nonetheless.
