The setup

On their previous visit to B.C. Place Stadium (Sept. 13, 2015), the Redblacks accomplish­ed what no Ottawa football team had done in 25 years — win. The Redblacks’ 31-18 victory was the first for an Ottawa team in Vancouver since 27-year-old Damon Allen was Ottawa’s quarterbac­k and Steve Goldman the coach of the Rough Riders. The Lions aren’t about to allow lightning to strike for a second consecutiv­e year. A win Saturday would complete a sweep over the Redblacks (B.C. won 29-23 in Ottawa Aug. 25) and improve the team’s middling three-year record at home to the .500 mark. Leos are 11-12 over the past three seasons at the Dome.
