Montreal Alouettes were the best team in football all year, but you wouldn't know when you were watching the 1st half of the Grey Cup. The only bright spot on the Alouettes in the first half was Avon Cobourne, who kept trying to rally the troops despite a very shaky first half from Anthony Calvillo. In fact, even when AC was completing passes to his receivers, they were almost never on target and could just as easily have been dropped. But Cobourne remained a steady presence throughout the entire game, be it through his ability to rush the ball for 85 yards and 1 touchdown, or in the air with 6 catches for 64 yards. He was named the most valuable player in this years edition of the Grey Cup
