Summary
The Lions and Als met twice this season, with B.C. spanking their eastern counterparts 48-13 and 36-20 within a 15-day span. In the first meeting, Buck Pierce replaced [Dave Dickenson] late in the first half and threw three TD passes. And two weeks later, the Lions sacked Montreal pivot Anthony Calvillo a club-record 12 times while slotback Geroy Simon had two TDs as B.C. earned its seventh straight win while handing the Als their sixth straight loss.
The Grey Cup will feature two veteran squads overflowing with star power. The Lions placed seven players on the CFL all-star team -- slotback and Most Outstanding Player finalist Simon, left tackle Rob Murphy and five members of a ball-hawking defence: defensive end Brent Johnson, a finalist for the Most Outstanding Canadian and Defensive Player honours, as well as defensive tackle Tyrone Williams, linebacker Otis Floyd and defensive backs Korey Banks and Barron Miles.See the full content of this document
