EDMONTON — In two previous meetings this season, the B.C. Lions have outscored the Edmonton Elks by a combined score of 49-0.But that was then, when the Elks were in the midst of a nine-game losing streak to begin the season. Now, with Tre Ford at quarterback, the Elks have won four of their last five, and in that span they are averaging more than 200 yards rushing per game.
“The game doesn’t seem too big for him,” Campbell said. “You can tell he’s got a calmness to him. He’s not flustered. And obviously, he’s fast. He’s not kind of fast. You’ve got to do a really good job against him and they’ve got other good athletes on offence, too. It’ll be a tall task.” Ford’s mobility — the quarterback dashed for 70 yards last week, and has shown an uncanny ability to shake the pass rush — forces defences to worry about more than one set of legs out there. If Brown doesn’t get the ball, Ford can pull it down and scamper for big plays.
