But they’ve never had a perfect season. Sept. 23 Saskatchewan W 38-24 Oct. 2 Alberta W 61-7 Wearing a 7-0 record and the No. 1 ranking in the nation, the 2011 edition of the Dinos heads to Vancouver this Oct. 14 @ Saskatchewan W 20-7 weekend to wrap up the regular season against the 5-2 UBC Thunderbirds with the chance to go 8-0 for the first time Oct. 22 Manitoba W 41-24 in program history. Three times, the Dinos have finished a season 7-1 (1984, 1988, and, most recently, 2009), but that Oct. 29 @ UBC 2 p.m. perfect record has always eluded them.

LAST DINOS-THUNDERBIRDS MEETING – September 9, 2011 @ McMahon Stadium

CALGARY – Steven Lumbala simply couldn't be stopped Friday night. In the end, though, it was the Dinos who pulled off their second straight come-from-behind victory to improve to 2-0 on the year. The third-year product of St. Francis High School racked up 204 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns, including the game-winner with just 18 seconds left, as the No. 4 Calgary Eric Dzwilewski threw for 212 yards and one touchdown for the Dinos, finding Chris Dobko eight Dinos improved to 2-0 on the season with a 30-25 win over NO. 10 UBC at McMahon times for 126 yards. added 111 rushing yards and a major, while Jake Harty Stadium. had the Dinos' other touchdown.

After UBC took the lead with just under three minutes remaining, the Dinos marched 85 Dave Boyd and Ryan Couper had UBC's other trips to the end zone. yards downfield for the winning score – with 80 of those yards coming courtesy Lumbala, much to the delight of the crowd of 4,176 at the University of Calgary's annual KICKOFF Defensively, the Dinos were led by another standout night from Sam Hurl, who posted 9.5 tackles, homecoming game. It was a fitting end to a night where Calgary's run game completely while Mike Edem added another eight. Connor Flynn led the UBC defence with 7.5 tackles and a obliterated the Thunderbirds' defence, gaining 351 yards along the ground. sack, with chipping in six tackles.

“Coming in, we knew we needed to run the football – in fact, I think we maybe should have On a night that took several strange turns, one of the most significant came late in the second run it even more,” said Dinos head coach Blake Nill, who earned his 75th career regular- quarter. With the Dinos lined up in punt formation, Johnny Mark's attempt was blocked by UBC's season victory as a head coach in CIS. “We wanted to keep their offence off the field, and Kareem Ba. Calgary Colts transfer Zach McNeill picked up the ball for Calgary and managed to get when it came down to it, we were able to move the ball. There's no question – this is an O- away a spectacular punt that sailed more than 50 yards downfield from the point it was kicked. line program, and when we needed it most, we were able to just put it in their hands and Officially, it went down as a 36-yard punt, but it meant a significant difference in field position for just run it down.” the Dinos as the clock ticked toward the end of the half.

The upstart T-Birds certainly did everything they could to pull off their second upset in as “I think we'll continue to get better each and every week, and hopefully start to peak at the right many weeks. Quarterback Billy Greene completed 29 of 43 passing attempts for 355 yards time,” Nill summed up. “We have to tighten up defensively and on special teams – really, we need and three majors, including a 53-yard bomb to Jordan Grieve for the go-ahead score late in to get better at all aspects of the game. But we've managed to pull off two victories, and I think the fourth. Greene also did it all with his legs as well, racking up 102 rushing yards and that says a lot about the chemistry and the environment here.” keeping the Calgary defence off-balance. UBC drops to 1-1 after a tough season-opening two-game road trip and will head home for two Both the Grieve score and Greene's earlier fourth quarter touchdown to Ryan Couper came straight games against Alberta and Manitoba. Calgary heads to Regina next week to take on the on third-and-four gamble situations where the UBC offence caught the Dinos defence off Rams, followed by a visit from the Saskatchewan Huskies Sept. 23. Saskatchewan beat Regina 33- guard and went to the air. 10 in the other Canada West game Friday night.

“We're a different team with a lot of youth, and they're going to have to go through their growing pains,” said Nill. “Full credit to UBC though – their quarterback is the best in the conference, and he presents a unique challenge.”

Josh Borger October 7, 1983 vs. Saskatchewan Don Blair October 22, 1994 vs. Alberta Kicker Johnny Mark has been an impressive success story for the Dinos in 2011 as well. The 19-year-old redshirt 11 Sean Furlong October 6, 1989 vs. Manitoba freshman has missed just one of his 18 field goal tries on the year for an impressive 94.4 per cent success rate, Don Blair September 15, 1995 vs. UBC and he enters the last week of the season just one field goal away from tying Aaron Ifield’s single-season school Joel Ford October 30, 2004 vs. UBC Anthony Parker October 25, 2008 vs. Alberta record of 18 – which he set last season. Chris Dobko September 23, 2011 vs. Saskatchewan

Calgary will host one of the two Canada West semi-final games on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at McMahon Stadium. RECEIVING YARDS 302 Dave Brown October 6, 1989 vs. Manitoba No. 7 UBC Thunderbirds (5-2) 259 Josh Borger October 7, 1983 vs. Saskatchewan. Last week: defeated Alberta 39-22 258 Mike Freiter September 19, 1992 vs. Saskatchewan Next week: Canada West semi-final (opponent and location TBD) 231 Jamie Elliott August 31, 2001 vs. Alberta 229 Ryan Carruthers October 25,1997 vs. UBC Second-year head coach Shawn Olson and fourth-year pivot Billy Greene have led a renaissance of the UBC 222 Richard Snyder November 14, 2009 @ Sask (CW Final)* program that went from finishing out of the playoffs a year ago to a 5-2 record and a very possible home playoff RUSHING ATTEMPTS date this year, and they gave the Dinos a major run for their money back in Week 2. 38 J.P. Izquierdo October 21, 1988 vs. Saskatchewan 36 Chris Lewis October 19, 1996 vs. Alberta That, along with a 36-33 loss at Saskatchewan, are the only blemishes on an otherwise impressive season for the Dean Fisher September 30, 2000 vs. Alberta Thunderbirds, who sit right behind the Dinos in most offensive categories. The one place they do hold top spot is 34 Stephen Hughes September 24, 2005 vs. Regina 33 John McCorquindale October 4, 1977 vs. UBC in passing – Greene is the conference’s number one passer with more than 300 yards per game and just four John McCorquindale November 5, 1977 vs. UBC* (WIFL Final) interceptions in 244 attempts. He’s also in the top 10 in rushing with 60 yards per game on 53 carries – the most 32 Elio Geremia September 30, 1986 vs. Alberta of any quarterback in the conference. Craig Kittelson October 2, 1992 vs. UBC Anthony Woodson Sept. 8, 2007 vs. Saskatchewan

Jordan Grieve has been Greene’s top target and is the Thunderbirds’ big-play threat, averaging nearly 20 yards RUSHING YARDS per catch for 672 yards on just 34 receptions. UBC has four receivers in the top 10 in receiving yards per game, 395 Chris Lewis October 28, 1994 vs. UBC while no other team has more than two. 309 Brendan Ward October 4, 1997 vs. Alberta 280 Craig Kittelson October 2, 1992 vs. UBC While the offence has marched downfield almost at will for much of the season, so have the offences of the 268 Stephen Hughes September 24, 2005 vs. Regina opposition. The Thunderbirds rank dead last in yards allowed (513.7/game) and passing yards allowed 260 Tim Petros Nov. 19, 1983 vs. Queen's* (Vanier Cup) 259 Matt Walter September 18, 2009 @ Regina (274.7/game), and their run defence will have its hands full against the Dinos’ three-headed running monster of 245 Anthony Woodson October 26, 2007 vs. UBC Lumbala, Walter, and Anthony Woodson, who have combined for more than 1,700 yards on the season. INTERCEPTIONS The T-Birds do have a solid pass rush, however, with Connor Flynn and Serge Kaminsky leading the conference 3 Darren Peterson October 10, 1987 vs. Alberta Mohamed Elsaghir September 9, 1990 vs. Saskatchewan with six and five sacks on the season, respectively. Fifth-year defensive back Chris Mark was last week’s Mohamed Elsaghir September 29, 1990 vs. Alberta conference player of the week on defence, recording eight tackles and a 55-yard interception return touchdown Drew Carpenter September 9, 2006 vs. Alberta as the Thunderbirds handed the Alberta Golden Bears their seventh straight loss 39-22 at Foote Field in Brett Ferguson September 13, 2008 vs. Alberta Edmonton.
