The wait is over, the 112th Grey Cup is here. The Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders are set to battle it out for the richest prize in the CFL Sunday.
The Als, punched their ticket to the big dance behind a stingy defense, some magic from pivot Davis Alexander and a clutch 45-yard field goal from Jose Maltos Diaz to stunt the hometown Ti-Cat crowd.
The Riders also needed some late-game heroics to advance to the CFL Final. Trevor Harris led a game-winning drive, which started on his own 34-yard line with 1:03 on the clock and ended with a clutch touchdown pass to Tommy Nield with just 11 ticks left in the game.
There'll be plenty of storylines to chew on in the game, but all eyes will be on the two quarterbacks. The young, fiery Alexander tweaked his hamstring in the win over Hamilton, but made it clear he'll be playing Sunday. He's already outdueled two of the CFL's most experienced signal callers in Zach Collaros and Bo Levi Mitchell and will look to do the same to the 39-year-old Harris.
Harris, meanwhile, has been on the sidelines as a backup to two Grey Cup-winning quarterbacks (Ricky Ray, Toronto 2012 and Henry Burris, Ottawa 2016). He'll be out to earn his own ring and capped off a dream season for the Riders.
