PRESEASON: LIONS 37 STAMPEDERS 13
VANCOUVER (CP) – BC Lions quarterback Kevin Glenn finished 17 of 21 for 173 yards and a touchdown Friday night in a 37-13 preseason victory over the Calgary Stampeders at BC Place.
Glenn continues to look like the favourite to start the club’s opener on June 28 against the Edmonton Eskimos. No. 1 quarterback Travis Lulay did not take a snap in the pre-season as he continues to recover from off-season shoulder surgery.
Stefan Logan returned a punt 93 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter as B.C. jumped out to an 18-0 lead after just 15 minutes, but Calgary quarterback Drew Tate led his team back in the second quarter to trail 21-13 at the break
Lions rookie defensive back T.J. Lee had two interceptions – including one that he returned 15 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to put the game out of reach at 31-13 – while linebacker Solomon Elimimian added two interceptions of his own.
Tate – who threw a TD – and fellow Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell were both picked off twice, while reigning CFL most outstanding player Jon Cornish rushed for 33 yards on five carries early on before spending the rest of the night as a spectator.
Notes: Friday’s attendance at B.C. Place was 26,445. … The Stampeders open the regular season June 28 at home against the Montreal Alouettes.
