The Stamps kicked off the first installment of the Battle of Alberta after a one-hour weather delay with a big 21-18 win at Clarke Stadium on Friday night.
Calgary closed out their CFL pre-season campaign with 2-0 record, claiming victories over Saskatchewan and Edmonton.
The Red and White played three different quarterbacks in the outing – starting with Josh Love who made his first start for the Stamps throwing seven-for-eight for 80-yards and a touchdown.
Ben Wooldridge punched in a touchdown and Jacolby Criswell made an appearance at pivot scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Josh Love – 7-for-8, 80 yards, TD
Ben Wooldridge – 5-for-9, 58 yards, five carries, -3 yards, TD
Jacolby Criswell – 3-for-4, 19 yards, five carries, 41 yards, TD
Rashod Owens – four receptions, 59 yards
Dante Wright – one reception, 42 yards, TD
Love was feeling it from the get-go, throwing a 43-yard beauty to Dante Wright who scored his first-career CFL touchdown.
