My wife's family lived on Imperial Ave (all 9 of them). The Kale family lived next block over and Jim Kale was a buddy with my brother in laws. So lots of connection with all Bomber things even though I had not even been introduced to my wife of 54 years (who by the way was introduced to me by Bill Frank who played for the big blue and worked parttime for my future father in law).

If the Elks can keep Cosy clean, and if he's dropping dimes, keeping him off the field is key.  Long productive drives from Zach.  Lots of 2nd and 3rd and inches to eat up TOP.  And Sergio capping off every possession with points.  Every one, be it a FG or a PAT.

Three phases, Vaval will be a target.  Killam's ST heritage means he's going to be focused on that part of the game, MOS vs. Killam on teams is going to be a big factor.  Win that battle, and it could be the game.
don't forget Rankin who is their mop this year. I don't feel st will be a big factor,  but turnovers will be huge. Edmonton against Sask did some things really well, utilizing Rankin and creating turnovers. Their linebackers are very active and get on top of the short game well, but give Zac time and he can kill them deep. I also think Olivera can be very effective especially as an outlet.
I like what we did against Hamilton in mixing up our offensive schemes to give Zac more protection and even utilized Chris Ike in a TE role a few times.
