When I turned back to the Hardy Cup at the end of the Yates Cup broadcast, there were 3 minutes left, and hardly any scoring since I had left it in the 2nd quarter with UBC leading 25-18. Second half scoring was 9-8 for UBC, so it wasn't as action packed in terms of scoring as it was in the first half.
By the way, Andrew Buckley and Michael O'Connor are as good as several CFL QB's now. I know the defenses are quicker in pro football, but their arms are just as good as many guys on TV playing in the NCAA 1A. O'Connor has good speed and he is just 20 years old. Buckley has an arm himself. Both would get spots on CFL rosters for sure if the QB position was part of the ratio. It's ridiculous that it is not, even so they still should, that's how good they are and more importantly can be.
