What an embarrassment for CIS football.

Edwards is close to un-stoppable against average defences in U Sport ball; and sure Western usually has the big, strong O-Line and go with lots of run, but Edwards is a special talent IMO - better than many star Mustang RBs of the past - he is just a combo of power, vision, balance and despite his 5 second forty speed he breaks many big gainers; Laval did shut-him down - somewhat - in last year's National Semi, but he still had over 100 yards in the first half till Marshall panicked and abandoned the run heavy attack.

York obviously have both coaching smarts AND on field talent issues to get slaughtered like that. Sad to see, but maybe they can at least improve some as the season goes on. A young coaching staff might take lots of time to put some things together and if they can't recruit some good player talent ( they did get Andre Durie, Ricky Foley not that long ago?) then it will be real tough.

Slaughters like that happen some in US college ball BTW; last year's National Title game was a joke of a slaughter, and maybe some thought of it as an embarrassment for US college ball.
