CFL game notes…and bits and pieces...

- The Ticats have scored 292 points this season, the most in the CFL by far, and allowed 156 points for a whopping differential of 136 points.

- Hamilton leads the league with eight defensive touchdowns this season and 11 overall, leaving the Ticats within reach of two single-season all-time records:

1) Defensive touchdowns in a season, which the Ticats can break with four more touchdowns. They sit three behind the Lions' 11 defensive touchdowns in 1987.

And, 2) Non-offensive touchdowns, which combines defensive and special teams touchdowns. With a high-scoring defence combined with the talent of Brandon Banks, the Ticats have 12 non-offensive touchdowns through eight games. The record for that in a season is 15 by the very same Lions back in 1987, another record well within the Ticats' reach.

- Mike Daly, Zach Collaros and Terrell Sinkfield Jr. were named the Shaw CFL Top Performers of the Week for Week 9 of the CFL’s 2015 season. A Hamilton sweep.

- Ti-Cats have 30 takeaways for 118 points this year.

- Quarterback Zach Collaros leads the league in passing yards with 2,314 and arrives at the stadium ready to roll: the Ticats have outscored opponents 70-6 in the first quarter of their last five games, and held halftime leads of 31, 21 and 21 points the last three weeks. They also lead the league in touchdowns with 22 and points per game at 36.5.

- Not much happening with the Alouettes - oh wait, they have a new Coach after firing Tom Higgins. Jim Popp takes over..again. Oh, and A. Calvillo is now the QB Coach. Which begs the question..why'd it take so long?

- Montreal used seven different running backs last week to gain 251 yards on the ground,

As C Schultz says - "This is a tough first game for Jim Popp to begin his fourth stint as head coach of the Alouettes. Montreal has to survive the first quarter if they have any chance of winning this game. Hamilton has out-scored opponents a combined 63-3 in the first quarter of their last four games."

He thinks the Ti-Cats will prevail as do 96.7% of MBB posters who bothered to vote. The Montreal vote? Me.

John Bowman is back in the lineup. Good to see. Johnny Sears, too.

If Bowman doesn't shine and gets nullified, it has to say something about Popp. If Bowman goes on a tear for the rest of the season, that says something about Higgins' judgement.

Still unclear to me why he was sitting to begin with. Dude is a stud. It would be like us benching Westerman.

decent game anyway..

 

some people thought hamilton peaking too early…. might be right. 

 

All that hitting by the defence this season,  Hamilton defence maybe looks a little slower, not as intimidating, and got pushed around by Montreal O line.

Just saying but Montreal also beat Hamilton earlier in the season with Higgins as coach. Guess it tells you its not as much about the coaching as it is about the players on the field. Als regardless who tge coach is own the ticats.

2 of 3 ticat losses are to the als

2 of 4 als wins are against the ticats
