Western looking to knock Laval off its perch as U Sports football champions
HAMILTON — The Western Mustangs have put up staggering numbers during their remarkable U Sports football season.
They are undefeated at 11-0. They led the country with an average of 48.3 points per game. They have outscored the opposition by a whopping 222-47 in the playoffs.
The only thing standing in the way of their perfect season are the reigning Vanier Cup champions from Laval.
“I know we’ve got a good football team but I’m realistic enough to know that this is going to be our biggest challenge by far,” Mustangs coach Greg Marshall said Thursday at a news conference.
