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.Hydro Flask Flasche Schweiz .

Howard said.The Tide (12-0, 8-0 SEC) led just 13-9 at halftime, dominating the stat sheet but only taking over the scoreboard in the second half. The defense pushed its string of quarters without allowing a touchdown to 14-plus and shut down the leagues top running game.Auburn (8-4, 5-3) failed to muster much offense for the second straight SEC game. This time the Tigers were playing without injured quarterback Sean White and unable to reach the end zone despite starting several drives in Alabama territory.We had some really, really challenging field position situations in this game, and our players responded really well to it, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.Hurts displayed the same poise in overcoming two first-half interceptions that has helped him lead the Tide into the SEC championship game. He completed 27-of-36 mostly short and mid-range passes and threw for two touchdowns. Alabama has won three straight Iron Bowls for the first time since 1990-92.At halftime, I guess everybody thought I was going to throw a fit, but I told them, `Look guys, all weve got to do is go out there and play with some poise and confidence, Saban said.Hurts also ran for 37 yards and a touchdown, leading two straight touchdown drives in the third quarter to all but put the game away after a mistake-filled first half.He ran for a 4-yard score on a drive sparked by four Bo Scarbrough runs. On a fourth-and-4 play, he hit ArDarius Stewart, who spun away from a defender and made another move downfield en route to a 38-yard touchdown and a 27-9 leadd.ddddddddddddStewart gained 127 yards on 10 catches and completed a 12-yard pass. Scarbrough ran for 90 yards, including 83 after the half.Auburns Jeremy Johnson, who started the second straight game in Whites place, completed 4 of 13 passes for 34 yards. John Franklin III connected on two downfield passes in the second half that totaled 85 yards. The Tide dominated in total yards, 501-182.Daniel Carlson connected on four field goals for Auburn.Offensively, we just didnt get first downs, we just didnt get it done, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said. Two of 12 on third downs, I really think that caused the problem. Third downs, didnt hit explosive plays, defense was on the field too long was really the story of the day.Obviously weve got players in there that are hurting, coaches that are hurting, this is a tough one.THE TAKEAWAYAuburn didnt get a first down until nearly 25 minutes into the game and continues to have no passing game without a healthy White. Leading rusher Kamryn Pettway ran 12 times for just 17 yards after missing the past two games with a leg injury. The Tigers managed 66 rushing yards after coming in averaging a league best 298.Alabama still has to get more offense in the downfield passing game but remains dominant on defense.POLL IMPLICATIONSAlabama seems unlikely to drop from No. 1 in AP poll or playoff rankings, but No. 2 Ohio State could at least close ground after a double-overtime win over No. 3 Michigan.
