STORYLINES

Who’s healthy for the Ticats? The Tabbies are banged up all over the place, and it’s not known who is going to be healed enough to suit up on Sunday. It might not matter considerin­g how bad it is on that roster right now.

How do you stop the dynamic duo? Adarius Bowman and Derel Walker combined for 3,350 receiving yards, 19 touchdowns and 22 big plays. If the Tiger-Cats can’t find a way to stop them, they’re toast.

Can the crossover team get it done? Only two of eight crossover teams have won the semifinal, and one of them needed overtime to do it. The only crossover team to win the semifinal in regulation time was ... the 2008 Eskimos.

Hamilton: Backup quarterbac­k Jeremiah Masoli, along with receivers Luke Tasker and Andy Fantuz, were the top performers against the Esks, but it’s unlikely they’ll play this week.
