The Eskimos destroyed the Stamps tonight, as the Stamps never showed up. The Stamps’ defense came back down to earth. Ricky threw an early 32-yard touchdown to Campbell. You knew the Eskies would not be this bad all season and they weren’t. The Stamps did nothing in this game. You have to give the Eskies’ defense some credit; they did their homework. Meanwhile, the Stamps’ defense continued to do stupid things. The Stamps were lucky when they were still only behind seven points at the end of the first quarter. The Eskies were driving their way to another touchdown when a turnover happened, fumbled by Mccarty. The Stamps marched from the 35 yard line ending, with a touchdown catch by Copeland.

The second quarter started with Peterson catching a deep pass for 50 yards. The Eskimos rebounded with a touchdown drive back with Campbell, an easy 10 yard touchdown pass. The Stamps were never in this game. The Eskimo’s could do no wrong. Ricky Ray was unstoppable, throwing touchdowns at will. Kelly Campbell was spectacular tonight, catching the first two touchdowns for the Eskies. The Stamps could not even convert on a second and half a yard losing yards. Ricky Ray threw the best pass I have ever seen, another bomb to Tucker to set up the Eskies’ field goal.. The Eskies took an easy 17-7 lead and totally dominated the pathetic Stamps. How does that happen? Easy, the Stamps’ defense is awful; they are the downfall this season. Meanwhile the Stamps’ offense weren’t exactly terrific. They were pretty much terrible in the first quarter. In the second quarter they weren’t much better, only getting one drive because their offensive line is awful, holding every play. The Eskies got another single point to put it 18-7. Burris threw an awful pass that was picked off, and allowed the Eskies a huge drive. It could have been worse; the Eskies got another field goal. The score at half time: 21-7.

The Stamps played better in the 2^nd half, throwing a touchdown to Brent Ralph and Reynolds running a touchdown. The key point for the win for the Eskimos was the fumble by Summers when the Stamps were marching down the field. The Stamps need to cut down on mistakes. Five turnovers; that pretty much cost the Stamps the game. On the good side, the Stamps didn’t give up. You thought maybe the Stamps would come back when Lewis caught the leading touchdown. With 1.38 left, the Stamps led this game; but you play a game for 60 minutes.

Ricky Ray led the Eskies 75 yards. Wow, what a game for the Eskimos. They purely dominated the game. Campbell was a monster. He led the Eskies to the winning touchdown. What catch by Jason Tucker — a circus 45 yard catch as Ricky Ray gunned it. The catch of the year; wow, what a catch. What a win for the Eskies. The Stamps’ defense is weak. The offense was weak most of the game. The offensive line gave up too many holding penalties. The offensive line never gave Burris enough time. A gutsy performance by the Edmonton Eskimos.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Kelly Campbell eight catches for 158 yards. This kid is going to be a good one.
