394 – NATHAN ROURKE COMBINED YARDS
It was a big time offensive game from the Lions, so of course, it was Nathan Rourke pulling the strings for the home team.
The 28-year-old got it done both along the ground and through the air, completing 72.7 per cent of his passes for 317 yards and a touchdown. Rourke also added a game-high 77 yards and another major with his legs.
It also marked the 30th time in the Canadian’s career that he threw for 300 or more yards in a single game.
3 – ZANDER HORVATH TOUCHDOWNS
It’s not the first time — and certainly won’t be the last — that Horvath registered multiple touchdowns in a contest.
The 27-year-old’s hat trick powered the Lions to victory as the multiple majors brought the bruising back’s season total up to 19, only four shy of Milt Stegall’s single-season record of 23.
137 – KEON HATCHER SR. RECEIVING YARDS
BC’s offence excelled all night long, and Hatcher was a massive part in the Lions success.
The 32-year-old recorded a game-high nine receptions for a game-high 137 yards and a touchdown Saturday night, marking the highest totals in a single game this season for the two-time All-CFL member since Week 4.
