Trying to avoid CFL infamy, why would winless Redblacks start a rookie QB vs. Argos?

The Redblacks are staring down the embarrassment of having the worst season in league history, so why would they start a rookie quarterback with a grand total of 10 completions in his CFL career? TSN CFL Insider Dave Naylor joins SportsCentre to discuss Ottawa turning to Bryson Barnes as they try to avoid falling to 0-17 vs. the Argos.


Winless Redblacks turn to rookie QB Bryson Barnes against Argos on Friday

With two chances left to avoid a historic winless season, the 0-16 Redblacks are turning to rookie quarterback Bryson Barnes against the Argonauts on Friday. Barnes, 25, is 10/13 for 110 yards passing with no touchdowns and an interception in limited action, though he does have nine rushing scores on his resume.


CFL: Roughriders 24, Alouettes 44

Davis Alexander tossed for 403 yards and five touchdowns as the Alouettes celebrated Thanksgiving with a rout of the Riders. Montreal's win has them finishing a perfect 9-0 at home this regular season for just the second time in franchise history.


CFL: Stampeders 28, Blue Bombers 33

Sparked by the return of quarterback Zach Collaros, the Bombers narrowly defeated the Stampeders on Saturday night. Collaros returned after missing two games with a head injury and completed 19 of 27 passes for 349 yards and two touchdowns. The victory improved Winnipeg's record to 8-8, putting them right back in the mix for one of four playoff spots.
