Grey Cup: Kitchener’s Pfeffer hopes to give emotional boost to Redblacks
He proceeded to complete 35 of 46 passes for 461 yards.
Linebacker Glenn Love recovered a ideal onside kick by punter Rob Maver and the Stamps marched all the way to Ottawa’s two-yardline but had to settle for Paredes’ OT-producing 10-yard field with nine seconds left.
“We’ll see if he’s available but we have two proven winners here for a reason”, Ottawa coach Rick Campbell said of Burris in an interview with TSN immediately prior to the game.
“I can’t walk the streets and go to the movies”.
“I’m looking forward to it like everyone else”. “Right there knocking. Just didn’t get it done”. Redblacks go with the run game and then is forced into a long passing down following a holding call.
“He’s an excellent quarterback”, Jensen said of Mitchell. Calgary did lose their last game before the playoffs but they had already clinched first and a bye and rested many of their starters in dropping a 17-8 decision to the Montreal Alouettes.
“I think you know the answer to that question”, he said. The loss of Tristan Jackson for the Grey Cup game will hurt as he had 496 return yards on special teams this season. They dominated countless team and individual stats categories and won five of the seven major CFL awards, including the unanimous selection of star quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell as the season’s most-outstanding player.
Now his energy is even more real at the 104 Grey Cup, as his mother Renee Hill was at the game. But the Stampeders scored those late points to send it to overtime, only to have Burris cap perhaps the greatest game of his career, leading Ottawa to the game winning touchdown.

On the first possession of overtime, Burris found Jackson for a touchdown, while Mitchells final throw intended for Bakari Grant hit the turf.
At the end of the day, Ottawa will only win if their defence can force the Calgary offense into multiple two-and-outs – and a turnover or two would be handy, as well.

But on second down and on Ottawa’s two-yard line, Dickenson chose to give the ball to Buckley in hopes he could roll in again. The convert cut Ottawa’s lead to 33-30, setting up Glenn Love’s recovery of an on-side kick for Calgary that started the heart-stopping final 90 seconds of play. A Paredes field goal tied the game with 10 seconds left.
