You can say this one has lived up to the hype so far. Your BC Lions (3-1) lead the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 27-21 at halftime in tonight’s Western Division showdown.
Travis Lulay has showed no signs of slowing down as he went 18 of 23 for 254 yards and a touchdown pass to Manny Arceneaux in the opening half. The Manny Show’s first TD reception of the year opened the scoring.
After the Bombers responded with a Dan Levevour major on short yardage, the home team got rushing touchdowns from Jeremiah Johnson and Chris Rainey. The Bombers added touchdowns from Clarence Denmark and Darvin Adams to close the gap to six at the break.
Bryan Burnham led all Lions’ receivers with 107 yards, while Johnson chipped in with 45 yards on the ground.
