PREGAME

This is the second and final pre-season test for both teams. The Stamps outscored the BC Lions 37-30 in their exhibition opener Wednesday night at McMahon Stadium while on the same evening the ’Riders were dropping a 45-12 decision to the Eskimos at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium.

Quarterback Henry Burris is expected to play most if not all of the first half for the Red and White tonight. With Barrick Nealy sitting out for precautionary reasons, Drew Tate and Matt D’Orazio will split the rest of the QB duties.

Head coach and general manager John Hufnagel’s plan is to have all of his starters stay in the game longer than was the case last week against the Lions.
