Dinos advance to the Mitchell Bowl

Friday, November 11th, 2011

The University of Calgary Dinos are now only one win away from advancing to the Vanier Cup for the third consecutive season.

On Friday night at McMahon Stadium, the Dinos trounced the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds 62-13 in the Hardy Cup. In a New Orleans Saints like offensive performance, Dinos’ quarterback Eric Dzwilewski ran for four touchdowns and threw for another touchdown pass to St. Albert, Alberta’s Chris Dubko.

The Dinos defense also recorded four interceptions. Wyatt Getty and John Kadiebwe had their interception returns for touchdowns.

But the story of the game was the Dinos’ offensive line, who not only allowed Dzwilewski to run for four touchdowns, but running back Steven Lumbala to run for 198 yards as well.

The Dinos now will play the winner of Saturday’s Dunsmore Cup between Laval and Montreal on November 18 at McMahon Stadium. Many will find Montreal’s coach very familiar. He’s former Edmonton Eskimo coach Danny Maciocia.
