MONTREAL - Two potentially vulnerable teams clash tonight when the Calgary Stampeders visit the Montreal Alouettes. Both 1-1 teams will be looking to bounce back when they meet at Percival Molson Stadium on TSN and TSN Mobile TV. Catch the pre-game show live NOW. The Alouettes are coming off a woeful 19-11 loss at home to Winnipeg last week that raised questions on whether the team is in sync with its new coaching staff. Calgary blew a second-half lead to lose 36-21 to Saskatchewan last week and lost starting quarterback Drew Tate and a few players on defence to injury, making Kevin Glenn the starter against Montreal. The Alouettes hoped they got things sorted out in team meetings. "We sat down, everybody talked and got everything off their chest," running back Brandon Whitaker said Thursday. "As professionals, we have to put out a better performance. "The defence had a great game but we just didnt come out to play. We take that to heart." Quarterback Anthony Calvillo had the look of a man trying to quell a rebellion this week, saying the new coaching staff was not at fault and that the players have to buy into their system and perform up to expectations. The offence looked lost against the Bombers, managing only nine first downs in the game. Calvillo was sacked seven times. That raised debate on his relationship with new coach Dan Hawkins and offensive co-ordinator Mike Miller after five years playing under quarterback guru Marc Trestman. Calvillo has always sat by himself on the bench between drives, but that suddenly has become an issue. So have his frequent visible signs of exasperation at sacks, broken plays and missed passes. "Now things are getting more emphasized," said Calvillo. "The new coaching staff might not be used to it and Im going to adjust to that because I know how important my body demeanour is to our team. "When they see me frustrated, especially with the way things have been going, its going to bring them down. So its been talked about and its something Ill continue to work on." On Thursday, he reiterated that it is a question of performance and not of confidence in the coaching staff. "I would never go on the field if there were questions about a game plan," he said. "What it comes down to now is us executing the game plan. "Theres a lot of confidence in our offence and now its up to us to go out and carry it onto the field. The biggest thing for us is that we have to believe we can get the job done. When you go into a game without any confidence, youre defeated." It would take a massive turnaround from last weeks effort, but the Stampeder defence isnt counting out Calvillo or the Montreal offence, which has, in recent years, been among the CFLs best. Calgary has defensive questions of its own, defensive backs Keenan MacDougall (groin), Jamar Wall (ankle) and Derrius Brooks (ankle) and lineman Ben dAguilar (knee) all out. Quincy Butler, Keon Raymond, Yannick Carter and Kevin Huntley will dress. Raymond will see his first action this season. "They (the Alouettes) have a lot of veteran guys there and Im pretty sure theyre going to rebound and play hard," he said. "Their coaching staff is trying to get used to the league and its a big difference, but they have veteran guys like Anthony Calvillo trying to put their imprint on things. "I seriously doubt them coming out and misfiring again." The Stampeders are probably the best equipped team in the league to deal with an injury to their starting quarterback. Glenn played most of last season with Tate out and went 9-5, and replaced him again for Calgarys run to the Grey Cup game. "Hes probably the best backup in the CFL," said Montreal rush end John Bowman. "He brings experience, knowledge of the game and he reads situations good. "Im glad we get him off a short week and he probably wasnt prepared to start, but hes one of the best quarterbacks in the league." Coach John Hufnagel is less concerned about his quarterback than about getting the running game going. And he wants the defence to do a better job of stopping the running and short passing games. And to get to the quarterback more, which may be achievable with Calvillo absorbing 12 sacks in the first two games. "They had their problems last week but guess what? The Calgary Stampeders had some problems last week also," he said. Montreal is missing guard Andrew Woodruff, who will be replaced by American Michael Ola. Off-season signing Jerome Messam is to make his Alouettes debut. Calgary offensive lineman Dan Federkeil did not make the trip due to an illness. And Canadian quarterback prospect Brad Sinopoli will be in the lineup as a receiver. The Stampeders were scheduled to have their day-before-a-game walkthrough at the stadium, but were informed Thursday morning they couldnt because of an insurance issue. Instead, they went through their plays in a hotel ballroom. "I make the schedule a week in advance and hopefully there are no glitches, but you have to adjust," said Hufnagel, doing his best to laugh it off.Jan Kirchhoff Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.

It ended up helping win the game.There was a nervous moment for the Falcons just before halftime when Ross hit Colorado State QB Nick Stevens in the chest on a play that produced an interception by Jesse Washington. The official flagged him for targeting. The replay booth reversed the call and the penalty was nullified.When I saw the replay, I saw I backed off on (the hit), Ross explained. Thats why they didnt throw me out.Im glad (the game) was on us (at the end). The offense played their guts out. The other team played their guts out. Thats just how it came out. Thats how we like it.McVey gained 184 of Air Forces season-high 485 yards rushing. He nearly had a fifth touchdown, but fumbled into the end zone where offensive lineman Dylan Vail pounced on it.The two teams combined for 1,093 total yards, four turnovers and just two punts -- both by Air Force. The 95 combined points surpassed the old mark of 84 in the series set in 2000. The Falcons lead the all-time series 33-21-1 over the Rams (5-5, 3-3).They made their fair share of plays, Colorado State coach Mike Bobo said. We didnt do the things that we needed to do.Stevens finished with 374 yards passing and two TDs. His favorite target was Gallup , who hauled in 13 passes for 213 yards. The Rams never punted, but missed two field goals, failed to convert on a fourth down and turned it over twice.Air Forcee sophomore Arion Worthman stepped in again at quarterback with senior Nate Romine bothered by a sore ankle.dddddddddddd Worthman rushed for 143 yards, including a 54-yard scamper for a score.Stevens pulled the Rams to within a field goal, 49-46, when he found Gallup for a 7-yard score and a two-point conversion with 6:43 remaining. Colorado States defense held and Air Force had to punt. A few plays later, Gallup fumbled trying to break away from Ross.Michael had a heck of a game and hes hurting about the fumble, Bobo said. But hes going to learn from this and were going to learn from this as a team.THE TAKEAWAYColorado State: The Rams turned in plenty of big plays with Dalyn Dawkins breaking off a 61-yard TD run and defensive back Justin Sweet returning an interception 27 yards for a score. Colorado State remains a win away from bowl eligibility.Air Force: Another game, another trophy. A week after wrapping up the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy last, the Falcons took home the Ram-Falcon Trophy. That particular keepsake has gone to the winner since 1980.EARLY PRESENTMcVey insisted he now doesnt owe Vail a holiday gift. He already gave him one courtesy of that touchdown. McVey weaved his way through the defense for a 38-yard gain, only to get hit at the 4 by Colorado States Kevin Davis and lose the ball bouncing into the end zone. There was a hustling Vail to fall on it.Dylan came up to me after the play and said, `I was coming up on you, you have to move a little faster, McVey said, grinning. All right Dylan, way to cover me. It was great.This wasnt the first TD for Vail. He said he scored in a similar manner during his high school days in Texas.UP NEXTColorado State: The Rams play their final football game at Hughes Stadium on Saturday against New Mexico.
