VANCOUVER -- In a game that meant little for the Calgary Stampeders, the league's top team was all business, as they stormed into BC Place and defeated the hometown Lions 33-16 in the final game of game of the regular season for both teams.
Even though Drew Tate started the game, Bo Levi Mitchell came in the second quarter, but both Calgary pivots were effective.
Mitchell finished the game with 208 yards passing on 13-of-18 passing and threw a touchdown, while Tate passed for 206 yards and threw for a major.
Marquay McDaniel had success with both pivots as he compiled 165 yards on twelve receptions.
On the BC side of the ball, Kevin Glenn passed for 283 yards, threw a touchdown as well as a pair of interceptions in the loss.
Stefan Logan finished the game with 117 rushing yards and 70 receiving yards the Lions finale.
Entering the game, both teams were destined to play in the 2014 Grey Cup Playoffs, but Calgary was settled in first in the West with the right to host the West Final.
However, BC has clinched a berth, but still don't know which semi-final they will take part in. They;ll find out their destiny after tomorrow's season finale between the Roughriders and Eskimos.
To kickoff the game, the Stampeders received the opening possession.
With Mitchell resting for the West Final, Tate started for Calgary. On the opening possession, Tate came out firing finding Joe West and Marquay McDaniel for first downs.
On a second down play inside the Lions’ red zone, Tate scrambled and was stopped by Khalif Mitchell, but the defensive tackle was called for a facemask penalty, which extended the Calgary drive.
Luckily for Mitchell, the Lions’ defense held strong and resulted in a Rene Paredes 12-yard field goal to open up the scoring at BC Place.
On the next possession, Glenn trotted onto the field looking to match the production Calgary set on their opening series.
First, Stefan Logan started the drive with a 21-yard run to move the chains.
Glenn began distributing the ball to several of his receivers. He first found Shawn Gore then followed by an Ernest Jackson first down reception and then Logan again.
The Lions marched down into the Calgary red zone, but fizzled out and settled for an 18-yard field goal by Paul McCallum to tie the game up at threes.
The opening 15 minutes ended with both teams knotted at three a piece.
On the Stampeders’ first possession in the second quarter, Tate found wide receiver Simon Charbonneau-Campeau for a pair of receptions; a 28 and 33-yard receptions.
On the fourth play of the drive, Tate fired a ball to Eric Rogers for a 21-yard touchdown, his first career touchdown reception.
With that play the Stamps raced out to a 10-3 lead, early in the second quarter.
BC, looking to tie the game back up, went driving shortly thereafter. Logan rushed for a 17-yard gain and then caught a ball and turned it into a 14-yard gain on a third down and three gamble, that paid off.
After a Shawn Lemon sack and forced fumble, which tied a league record, it forced the Lions to kick a field goal, this time from 47 yards away to cut the deficit to four points, 10-6.
On the next series, it was a short one for the Stampeders. After a failed run attempt that put the Stamps five yards back, Tate threw an interception to Dante Marsh, his second on the season on a pass that was intended for receiver, Anthony Parker.
With the home crowd on their feet after the big turnover, the Lions were hoping to capitalize on the momentum.
Three plays after Marsh’s interception, the
momentum swung again when Glenn tried finding Gore in the end zone, but
was picked off by Calgary’s defensive back, Fred Bennett.
On the next offensive series for Calgary, Bo-Levi Mitchell entered the game. He quickly went three-for-three passing for 55 yards on those tosses.
After a pass interference call in the end zone, Bryant Moniz came into the game and rushed in for the one-yard plunge with three minutes left to play in the half to give the Stamps the 17-6 advantage.
This spurred the game into a shootout to finish the first half.
After the ensuing kickoff, Glenn went into two-minute drill mode orchestrating a seven play drive that was capped off by an Emmanuel Arceneaux 46-yard touchdown strike to cut the lead to 17-13 with 1:01 left in the half.
Mitchell came back out firing, finding McDanial for back-to-back receptions , the first one for five and the other for 36 yards.
With 0:23 left in the half, Mitchell found Rogers for his second major on the night, this time from 24 yards out to give the Stampeders the 24-13 lead at the break.
In the final 2:42 in the first half, both teams combined to score 21 points.
With a quick flurry to end the half, the second began to slow down with both teams trying to find ways to stop the other’s offence.
Through each team’s first two possessions in the second half, no team was able to drive down the field until BC’s third possession.
After a 38-yard punt return from Logan, the Lions began their drive in Calgary territory. After a three-yard rush by Logan and a four-yard reception for Gore, the Lions called McCallum’s number, where he hit a 27-yard field goal to make the score, 24-16.
Following the BC field goal, Calgary followed with their own drive that covered 51 yards on six plays resulting in a Paredes 26-yard field goal.
At the end of three quarters, Calgary owned a 27-16 lead.
The first play in the fourth, Glenn forced a ball to Jackson, which was intercepted by seven-year vet, Keon Raymond halting the Lions’ promising drive.
Once again, the Stampeders were able to make the Lions pay for their mistake, this time Paredes booted a 41-yard field goal to extend their to 14 points, 30-16.
The Calgary defence continued to give the Lions fits in the fourth, with Glenn and the offence unable to really make a strong push.
With under three to play, Paredes kicked a 14-yard field goal to make it a 33-16 game.
Calgary will have a bye next week as they host the Western Final, while BC will wait to see where they will play. The Lions will either travel to Edmonton or crossover to the East to play the second place East Division team.
