Western will be facing what its OC, Steve Snyder, calls "a national powerhouse" in this year's Vanier Cup when it plays Laval's Rouge et Or., who

are the reigning Vanier Cup champions and have won eight titles since 2003.When asked to point out Laval's Achilles heel, Snyder suggested the team didn't have many weaknesses, adding he's been reviewing footage of Laval in action for eight hours a day.
Laval is the last team the Mustangs faced when they made it to the Vanier Cup in 2008. They lost 44-21. ...

Snyder said this isn't so much a rematch, it's an eventuality.
"When you make it this far in our sport, you're most likely going to have to cross paths with Laval at some point."
"They're the best team we will have played this year, but I feel like we match up pretty well against them and our guys are confident that we can move the ball on them and make some things happen."
