You can watch the Ticats play the Elks on Friday night at 7pm ET\/4pm PT on TSN1\/3, TSN.ca and the TSN App.<\/a><\/p>\nThe Elks can also clinch a home playoff game with a victory Friday and Saskatchewan loss Saturday to Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdmonton comes off a bye week and was 2-0 when doing so earlier this season.<\/p>\n
Frost finished 17-of-34 passing for 214 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the overtime loss to Edmonton. He enjoyed a much more productive outing last week, throwing for 342 yards with two TDs and an interception in Hamilton\u2019s 34-16 road win over Ottawa.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ve made a bunch of different mistakes (but) I haven\u2019t really made the same mistake twice,\u201d Frost said. \u201cIt\u2019s just trying to limit the mistakes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe O-line (there\u2019s) so much veteran experience there and the receivers have been awesome all year making incredible, tough catches. Hopefully it just continues to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the last meeting, Hamilton led 10-3 after the first quarter but trailed 15-10 at halftime. The Elks extended their lead to 25-16 entering the fourth before the Ticats outscored the home team 13-4 to make it 29-29 and force overtime.<\/p>\n
Cody Fajardo\u2019s pass to Joshua Cephus in the two-point shootout earned Edmonton the dramatic victory.<\/p>\n
Frost is looking to deliver a more consistent effort Friday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust executing early,\u201d he said. \u201cI kind of had a lull there in the middle so just trying to be as consistent as we can throughout the game finding completions, getting it (ball) out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edmonton last swept a two-game series against Hamilton in 2017. Fajardo is 7-3 versus the Ticats and this season has set career highs in passing yards (4,439) and TDs (23).<\/p>\n
Frost found his groove against Ottawa, with a little help from Kenny Lawler. The veteran receiver had six catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns to earn CFL player of the week honours.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you put it into his area he\u2019s going to catch it,\u201d Frost said of Lawler. \u201cHe made a couple of great catches.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe run after catch last week was great by all of the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Running back Larry Rountree III was also a factor against Ottawa, rushing for 128 yards on 19 carries. Rountree was especially effective in the second half when he ran 15 times for 114 yards.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuccess was just hitting the gaps I saw and then from there just falling forward every play,\u201d he said. \u201cI think collectively we played very well, Kenny had a great game \u2026 but at the end of the game we finished out with the run.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rountree also ran for 91 yards and a TD in the loss to Edmonton. Over his last two games, Rountree is averaging 109.5 rushing yards and 6.8 yards per carry.<\/p>\n
On Friday, though, Rountree said the aim will be to finish against the Elks.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously we didn\u2019t finish so looking forward to finishing that when they come into this house,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it (overtime loss) just makes us more hungry to want to actually get a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe run game and getting a touchdown was cool and all but we want to win, that\u2019s what I\u2019m about.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Friday night, the Ticats will honour running back Troy Davis with a spot on their Wall of Honour. Davis played in Hamilton from 2001-2005 and is the club\u2019s all-time leader in carries (1,053), yards (5,296), and 100-yard games (18).<\/p>\n
In 2004, Davis set single-season franchise records for carries (324) and yards (1,628) while scoring 10 touchdowns. Rountree is looking forward to running the ball with Davis looking on.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, it puts a little bit of fire under my feet knowing that a guy was here when the standard was the standard,\u201d Rountree said. \u201cHim coming and getting honoured, if that doesn\u2019t get you in a game-spirited mood to actually wanting to go out there and show what being a Tiger-Cat is about, I don\u2019t think you should have a Tiger-Cat on your helmet.\u201d<\/p>\n
