CANADA WEST ROUND-UP: BISONS ROUT HUSKIES

BISONS 43 HUSKIES 19

WINNIPEG – Des Catellier threw three touchdown passes to Macho Bockru, and he was backed by a defence that forced seven turnovers as the Manitoba Bisons downed the Saskatchewan Huskies 43-19 on Friday in U Sports football action.

Catellier was 14-of-19 passing for 163 yards – with Bockru making six catches for 99 yards.

Mattland Riley helped out the Bisons (1-0) offence by going 5 for 5 on field goals and 4 for 4 on extra points.

“It looked to me like most of those were decisive shots right through the uprights with plenty of leg on them,” said Bisons head coach Brian Dobie.

Mason Nyhus was 27 for 39 for 315 yards with one TD and two interceptions for the Huskies (0-1).
