Nathan Rourke pilots BC’s offense and has thrown for at least 300 yards in six of his last seven games while taking on a Redblacks secondary that surrenders 281.8 passing yards per game. The Lions have the CFL’s best pass defense at 260.5 yards per game but their minus-11 turnover ratio is the worst in the league.

Ottawa has been plagued by slow starts, scoring just one point in the first quarter over its last five game. Quarterback Dru Brown remains out with a knee injury while Dustin Crum comes off a 23-of-29, 277-yard performance in the Redblacks’ 30-20 loss to the Edmonton Elks on Aug. 22. Expect a large dose of running backs Daniel Abeboboye and William Stanback against BC’s eighth-ranked run defense.

James Butler of the Lions leads the CFL with 868 rushing yards and shares the lead with eight touchdowns on the ground while Keon Hatcher is the lone CFL receiver over the 1,000-yard mark with 1,009 yards on 61 catches. Stanback leads Ottawa with 482 yards on the ground while Eugene Lewis is its top receiving threat with 709 yards.
