Quarterback Trevor Harris makes triumphant return to Ottawa Redblacks lineup
It was a triumphant return for Trevor Harris.
After missing nearly a month with a shoulder injury, the veteran quarterback came back to rally Ottawa past the B.C. Lions 30-25 last weekend. Harris helped the Redblacks erase a 19-point deficit to secure the victory, passing for 380 yards and three TDs.
It was the first win in three games for Ottawa (6-9-1), which moved to within a point of the front-running Toronto Argonauts (7-8) in the East Division standings. More importantly, the victory moved the defending Grey Cup champions five points ahead of Hamilton (4-10) with the Tiger-Cats holding two games in hand, including a showdown with the Redblacks on Oct. 27.
But it’s clear the Redblacks have a much different offence with Harris back under centre. In their previous two losses with both Harris and backup Drew Tate ailing, Ryan Lindley was 33-of-67 passing for 315 yards with a TD and two interceptions.
