06/26/2008 -
Hamilton, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Calvillo completed 25-of-37 passes for
293 yards and two scores, vaulting into second overall on the CFL's all-time
passing list in Montreal's 33-10 pasting of Hamilton in the season-opener for
both clubs.
Calvillo entered the game 205 yards shy of Danny McManus (53,255) and easily
passed that mark, moving into sole possession of second place with 53,343
yards. Damon Allen is well ahead in first place, with 72,381 yards.
Kerry Watkins had six catches for 102 yards and two scores for the Alouettes
(1-0). Avon Cobourne gained 107 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown, and
added six catches for 55 yards for Montreal, which won its first game under
new head coach Marc Trestman, as it tries to rebound from an 8-10 finish last
season.
Casey Printers threw for 203 yards on 15-of-21 passing and fumbled for the
Tiger-Cats (0-1), the CFL's worst team last season at 3-15. Tailback Jesse
Lumsden was limited to 36 yards on nine carries for Hamilton, which fell into
a 16-0 hole in the first half and never recovered.
Tre Smith's 75-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was the lone bright
spot for the Ticats.
After a 31-yard Damon Duval field goal gave Montreal a 3-0 lead, Calvillo and
Watkins connected on a nine-yard score, capping a nine-play, 45-yard drive for
a 10-0 first-quarter edge.
Two Duval field goals, from 20 and 28 yards out, pushed the Alouettes to a
16-0 lead in the second quarter before Nick Setta finally got Hamilton on the
board with a 17-yard field goal.
Calvillo passed McManus in the record books in the third quarter, then found
Watkins in the end zone a few plays later, and the rout was on. The 32-yard
touchdown boosted Montreal to a 23-3 lead.
Cobourne's three-yard scoring burst in the fourth quarter put Hamilton in a
30-3 hole. The Montreal lead reached 33-3 after a 39-yard field goal by Duval,
before Smith burst through the Alouettes defense for his 75-yard scamper.
