REGINA - The No. 3-ranked University of Calgary Dinos remained
unbeaten on the season after thumping the Regina Rams by a 51-1
score on Friday night in a Canada West game at Mosaic Stadium.
Calgary improves its conference record to 3-0 on the season, as the
Dinos and Saskatchewan (2-0) remain the only two undefeated teams
in Canada West. The Rams fall to 0-3 with the loss.
The Dinos scored the game's first touchdown with just 16 seconds
left in the second quarter to take a 13-point lead into halftime,
then exploded in the third. Chris Dobko, Steven Lumbala, and Jake
Harty all scored majors for Calgary as the visitors put up 24
points in the third stanza.
Calgary added to the score early in the fourth on Dobko's third
touchdown reception of the game, and Denzel Morrison capped off the
scoring with a 16-yard run late in the contest.
Dobko ended up with five catches for a game-high 79 yards and now
leads the conference in receptions (16), receiving yards (229), and
touchdown catches (4). He becomes the first Dino to register three
touchdown receptions in one game since Jamie Elliott had three
against the Rams on Sept. 20, 2002.
Harty had six catches for 72 yards and a touchdown, while starting
quarterback Eric Dzwilewski was 10-for-17 for 90 yards and three
touchdowns. Steven Lumbala had 16 rushes for 110 yards, while
Anthony Woodson had 53 rushing yards and Morrison ended up with
52.
Sam Hurl, Michael Lau, and Cory Roboch led the Calgary defence with
five total tackles apiece. Lau and Wyatt Getty had interceptions
for the Dinos, while Jordan Verdone had four total tackles and
registered Calgary's lone sack.
Drew Redekopp blocked two punts for the Dinos, getting in front of
a Chris Bodnar boot in the first quarter and again in the third
quarter.
Adrian Charles led the Rams with 57 rushing yards, while first-year
quarterback Frankie Gray scrambled eight times for 55 yards. Gray
also ended up with 55 passing yards in the loss, completing nine of
his 20 passes. Stefan Charles and Logan Brooks both had sacks for
Regina.
The team statistics were predictably swayed heavily in Calgary's
favour, with the Dinos' 27-8 advantage in first downs perhaps the
most telling of them all. Calgary also enjoyed a 332-177 yard
advantage in total offence while having possession for over 36
minutes.
Calgary will meet Saskatchewan at home in what should be a pivotal
contest next weekend, while the Rams will be back in action on the
road next Saturday against Alberta (0-2).
NOTES: Dobko also became the first Canada West player to haul in
three touchdown catches in a single game since former Regina
receiver Chad Goldie had three against Calgary on Oct. 6, 2007 ...
the 50-point loss was the worst in Rams history, eclipsing 49-point
setbacks suffered at Manitoba on Sept. 30, 2000 (50-1) and against
Saskatchewan on Oct. 22, 2005 (57-8) ... the Sept. 30, 2000 game
against the Bisons was the only other time the Rams have only
scored one point ... Calgary has now won eight consecutive games
over Regina.
