The BC Lions purpose to snap a five-game dropping streak on Saturday once they host the Ottawa Redblacks in Victoria.

Now the home-and-home sequence shifts to Victoria, the birthplace of BC quarterback Nathan Rourke.
“Clearly it is a little other for us, a bit other rhythm than a normal domestic recreation,” Rourke stated. “However those are the kind of moments that you may simplest be capable to revel in a few times on your profession. As a way to be part of this one is cool. And expectantly it is going neatly and we will come again subsequent 12 months.”
Rourke finished 22 of 31 passes for 234 yards with one interception remaining week in opposition to the Redblacks. He added 63 yards at the floor for the Lions, who may see the go back of fellow quarterback Vernon Adams on Saturday. Adams has been sidelined since maintaining a knee harm as opposed to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Aug. 2.
