Then, in the West final against the B.C. Lions on Sunday, he completely channelled his inner Harris while leading the Bombers to victory with a 167-combined yard performance. “I was critically watching him to see if I could pick out things out of his game and apply them to my game. He was a huge part of my career and getting me to where I am today. It’s going to be cool playing against next week and I’m sure I’ll see him throughout the week. He’s still a good friend of mine and it’ll be fun battling him next week.”
He missed much of the season in Toronto because of a torn pectoral muscle, but he returned for the East final and helped the Argos to a 34-27 win over the Montreal Alouettes.
