Congrats to Western - a dominant season - and get to pump the powerhouse Laval team in the big game; rather have seen a closer game, but kinda nice to see Laval get pumped after they have been so powerful.

Interesting to see a team win in Canadian football with a powerful run game - they didn't dominate Laval with it like they rolled over other teams - but still over 300 rushing yards in the big game, including nice runs from the QB Merchant to go with 2 very good RBs in Taylor & Joseph.

Also interesting to see a 3-4 D from Western - they have 4 very solid, play-making LBs, and their D was a strong factor.

Match-up of 2 very good CIS QBs in Merchant & Richard - both big QBs with good arms + running ability.. Not likely to get real CFL shots i suppose, but maybe ?
