RECEPTIONS Defensively, the Dinos need to compensate for the departure of two-time Canada West defensive MVP Sam Hurl, 12 Josh Borger, October 25, 1980 vs. Alberta who’s turning heads in his first CFL campaign with the . Redshirt sophomore Cory Josh Borger October 7, 1983 vs. Saskatchewan Don Blair October 22, 1994 vs. Alberta Roboch takes over Hurl’s middle linebacker position, while veterans Linden Gaydosh, Zach McNeill, and Jordan Chris Dobko October 29, 2011 @ UBC Verdone will also pick up some of the slack on defence. 11 Sean Furlong October 6, 1989 vs. Manitoba Don Blair September 15, 1995 vs. UBC The Dinos remain at home next week to host the Alberta Golden Bears on Friday, Sept. 7 for KICKOFF 2012, the Joel Ford October 30, 2004 vs. UBC University of Calgary’s annual homecoming game. The game will kick off at 5:30 p.m. at McMahon Stadium. Anthony Parker October 25, 2008 vs. Alberta Chris Dobko September 23, 2011 vs. Saskatchewan Regina Rams (0-0) RECEIVING YARDS Next week: host UBC 302 Dave Brown October 6, 1989 vs. Manitoba The Rams entered the 2011 season full of promise with a fifth-year quarterback, a dangerous run game, and a 259 Josh Borger October 7, 1983 vs. Saskatchewan. 258 Mike Freiter September 19, 1992 vs. Saskatchewan stellar defensive line. The loss of QB Marc Mueller to a shoulder injury in the first game of the year against UBC 231 Jamie Elliott August 31, 2001 vs. Alberta took them from a conference contender into a 3-5 team that squeaked into the playoffs – but the fifth-year pivot 229 Ryan Carruthers October 25,1997 vs. UBC 222 Richard Snyder November 14, 2009 @ Sask (CW Final)* is back for another shot at it and the Rams are expected to battle the Dinos for Canada West supremacy. RUSHING ATTEMPTS Despite going unranked in the pre-season CIS Top 10, the Rams were handed second place behind Calgary in the 38 J.P. Izquierdo October 21, 1988 vs. Saskatchewan Canada West coaches’ poll released this week, returning a veteran team with plenty of weapons. Mueller’s 36 Chris Lewis October 19, 1996 vs. Alberta return should be a significant one for Regina – in each of his two seasons as the Rams’ starter, he has led Canada Dean Fisher September 30, 2000 vs. Alberta West in passing. 34 Stephen Hughes September 24, 2005 vs. Regina 33 John McCorquindale October 4, 1977 vs. UBC Mueller is joined by four of the team’s top five receivers from last season – including Calgary native Mark John McCorquindale November 5, 1977 vs. UBC* (WIFL Final) 32 Elio Geremia September 30, 1986 vs. Alberta McConkey, who is looking to break the conference’s all time record for receptions at some point this season. The Craig Kittelson October 2, 1992 vs. UBC offensive line is stacked with veterans, but the Rams’ major question mark on offence will be the run game after Anthony Woodson Sept. 8, 2007 vs. Saskatchewan the graduation of All-Canadian tailback Adrian Charles. RUSHING YARDS

395 Chris Lewis October 28, 1994 vs. UBC Defensively, Regina lost the conference’s top lineman with the departure of Akiem Hicks to the NFL’s New 309 Brendan Ward October 4, 1997 vs. Alberta Orleans Saints, but the defensive line remains solid with All-Canadian Stefan Charles leading the way. Steve 280 Craig Kittelson October 2, 1992 vs. UBC Fabulak, Kirby Kezama, and Jamir Walker are veteran DBs in the mix, while LB Chris Sciog was Regina’s tackling 268 Stephen Hughes September 24, 2005 vs. Regina leader in 2010 and recorded 29.5 of them last season. 260 Tim Petros Nov. 19, 1983 vs. Queen's* (Vanier Cup) 259 Matt Walter September 18, 2009 @ Regina 245 Anthony Woodson October 26, 2007 vs. UBC Punter Chris Bodnar is an offensive weapon for the Rams, leading the conference in yardage last season en route to an All-Canadian selection himself. INTERCEPTIONS 3 Darren Peterson October 10, 1987 vs. Alberta The Rams fell 29-13 to Manitoba in a non-conference game last week at home.
