Offensive Co-ordinator Marc Mueller said<\/a> when asked for his thoughts on which Emilus catch was the best.<\/p>\n\u201cThe fact that we\u2019re even having the conversation is pretty impressive, because both of those were amazing plays.\u201d<\/p>\n
We went directly to the source for his opinion on which catch was better.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys were asking me the same thing,\u201d Emilus said, \u201cand I was like, \u2018I still don\u2019t know.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the Moss one is definitely the biggest one, just because it was in the fourth quarter and we needed that. We were up by only five points and we needed a drive to at least get some points to put them in a difficult situation to win the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, yeah, I think it\u2019s the Moss one, but I like both, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cMoss one\u201d was preceded by a defensive stop by the Roughriders, who foiled a third-and-two gamble on their 25-yard line.<\/p>\n
Harris promptly went deep down the right sideline for Emilus, whose 44-yarder produced the first of three first downs during a nine-play, 71-yard possession that consumed 3:16 and ended with Brett Lauther\u2019s fifth field goal of the day.<\/p>\n
Following a Lauther kickoff, Toronto scrimmaged the ball on its 37-yard line with one minute left in the game. A.J. Allen essentially cemented the outcome two plays later by intercepting Argonauts quarterback Jarret Doege.<\/p>\n
A book-end to the strong finish was a robust start to the game by Saskatchewan, which scored a touchdown on its first possession. A 50-yard pass-and-run collaboration between Harris and Emilus was followed in short order by Joe Robustelli\u2019s 13-yard TD reception.<\/p>\n
Emilus finished the game with season totals of 37 catches and 588 yards \u2014\u00a0compiled in only seven games. Those totals, extrapolated over a full 18 games, work out to 95 catches and 1,512 yards.<\/p>\n
If not for two different injuries that have sidelined Emilus for a total of nine games, he would have eclipsed 1,000 yards for the third consecutive season.<\/p>\n
But he wouldn\u2019t trade individual statistics for the impressive number that appears in the win column.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing a team guy, I think the team success overshadows everything,\u201d Emilus said. \u201cOne of my biggest goals is to be a champion.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot to say that I want to be hurt, but obviously I just want to win and clinching first in the West definitely helped.\u201d<\/p>\n
That being done, we count down the days \u2014\u00a025 \u2014\u00a0to the Western Final, slated for Nov. 8 at Mosaic Stadium<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 44-yard reception by Samuel Emilus was a Moss-terpiece.
