Jul 19 Als Win in BC,Now Face Hamilton in Home Opener

The defending 2009 CFL Champion Montreal Alouettes started the 2010 season with arguably the toughest part of their schedule in their first 3 games. The Alouettes were only a bad 4th quarter away from starting the season undefeated in Saskatchewan, but then have gone on to win their next two games, including their first win in BC since Aug, 2000. SJ Green continued to impress, catching 8 passes for 107 yards, but it was Jerald Brown who stepped up big for his 2nd straight late game interception to help seal the deal for the Alouettes. Montreal wins the game 16-12, on the back of a solid performance of Avon Cobourne, who had 79 yards on the ground, and another 43 through the air. Key player of the game though was kicker Damon Duval, who hit 4 of 6 field goals, including what turned out was the game winner, even though it hit the post before taking a lucky bounce through the uprights.

Montreal now takes their 2-1 record at home against the Hamilton Tigercats, who are coming off their first win of the season in 3 games against Winnipeg. Kevin Glenn will need to have the same kind of 3 TD and zero interception performance if he wants to make it two straight for the Ti-cats. The Alouettes will also have to hope that their defense has improved, which so far has given up the 2nd most amount of points so far this season. The game takes place on Thursday at newly renovated Percival Molson Stadium. The Franchise's Nick Murdocco will be in attendance, so make sure to say hi if you see him.
