Kevin Glenn gets revenge on the Stamps, with a little help from B.C. teammate Andrew Harris

Friday night's game worked out very well for Kevin Glenn and the B.C. Lions, but it almost didn't. After the Lions trailed for most of the game and being down 21-13 heading into the final frame, Glenn hit Ernest Jackson on a 65-yard pass with less than two minutes left that put B.C. up 25-24. Although the Lions failed on the two-point conversion, that proved to be enough, as Anthony Parker fumbled on Calgary's ensuing drive and the Stampeders were only able to get the ball back with four seconds left. They still could have done something to tie the game, but the Lions' defence came up with a big stop, preserving the win and boosting them to 3-3 while knocking off the previously unbeaten Stamps (who are now 4-1). Thus, what once looked like yet another bad moment for B.C. this year turned out rather well for them, and could be a key part of their season.

This was a memorable win for Glenn in particular given his history in Calgary and how things have gone for him lately. He went 20-8 as a Stampeders' quarterback over the last two seasons and helped lead the team to a Grey Cup berth in 2012 and a West Final berth in 2013, but was generally playing only thanks to Drew Tate suffering a list of injuries. The team left Glenn (and presumably Tate) unprotected in last December's expansion draft to go with younger, promising pivot Bo Levi Mitchell, and Ottawa snapped him up, but then they were able to sign Henry Burris and made him their starter. That led to Glenn asking for a trade in March, and Ottawa obliged him in May, shipping him to B.C. for a first-round draft pick. At first, Glenn looked likely to be a backup with the Lions too, but Travis Lulay's injury meant that he wound up taking over as the starter. That hasn't gone all that well thus far, but it turned around Friday, and let Glenn get some revenge on the team that chose to let him go.

Glenn threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns with one interception against the Stampeders, and that's relatively impressive. Even more impressive was that he completed 22 of 32 passes, though, a 68.8 per cent completion rate that's well ahead of his 62 per cent career mark and the 60 per cent rate he'd posted this year before this game. That kind of efficiency is a great step forward for the Lions' passing attack, and if they can keep it up, they'll be a lot tougher to knock off than they have been. This was a big step forward in Calgary for Glenn, too; he was 0-8 there as a visiting quarterback before Friday's game.

A big part of the reason why Glenn and the Lions were able to turn things around Friday was the play of Canadian running back Andrew Harris. Harris wasn't used much early on, only collecting ten touches before the fourth quarter, but he was remarkable down the stretch. On the night, he picked up 70 rushing yards on 15 carries (4.7 yards per carry) and added five catches for 73 yards and a touchdown. He would have had another long 60-plus-yard gain, but it was called back thanks to Shawn Gore being cited for holding. Glenn was the one out to change his history in Calgary Friday, and the Lions' overall team efforts (plus some of the Stampeders' issues, such as Parker's late fumble) were crucial to that, but Harris' play was perhaps the main reason B.C. emerged with a win. lf he can maintain that level of play, and if the Lions keep going to him, this B.C. team might just turn into a solid one yet.
