He carried the ball 21 times for 110 yards, including a crucial 15-yard touchdown run that put BC up 17-10 in the second quarter. Butler’s ability to create space and break tackles proved invaluable for the Lions. 2. 70% Completion Percentage for Nathan Rourke Nathan Rourke was efficient and accurate throughout the game, completing 21 of 30 passes for 292 yards. He spread the ball around to multiple receivers and kept the Calgary defense guessing. Rourke’s command of the offense was a key factor in BC’s success. 3. 3 Interceptions by the BC Defense The BC defense forced three turnovers, including three interceptions. Josh Woodman, Loucheiz Purifoy, and Micah Awe all made crucial plays to stop Calgary drives and give the Lions offense the ball. These interceptions effectively stifled Calgary’s momentum and gave BC a significant advantage in the game. These three stats highlight the key areas where BC excelled in its Week 2 victory over Calgary: strong rushing attack, efficient passing game, and opportunistic defense. By dominating these aspects of the game, the Lions secured a convincing victory and asserted themselves as a contender in the West Division.0 – BAGS ALLOWED0 – BAGS ALLOWED After allowing six sacks in Week 1 to the Toronto Argonauts, the Lions’ offensive line played a much more efficient game on Saturday in keeping Calgary’s pressure at bay. The Leos didn’t allow a single sack, partly because of the blocking scheme and partly because of Adams Jr.’s ability to scramble. 7 – DIFFERENT RECEIVERS WITH CATCHES The Leos were able to distribute the ball to seven different pass catchers to keep Calgary’s defense on its toes. They were able to distribute the ball to such an extent that even Adams Jr. himself caught a pass on a tipped ball and ran for four positive yards. 15 – WILLIAM STANBACK CARRIES The Leos know that the overall success of their offense also depends on their running game. After giving Stanback the ball 11 times (for just 35 yards) in Week 1 against the Argos, the Lions gave their running back 15 carries for 69 yards on a much more efficient afternoon of running for BC. Five of those carries came in the fourth quarter, when the home team successfully ran out the clock before kicking a game-sealing field goal.3+ Stats That Defined BC’s Week 2 Win Over Calgary 1.
