took Travis Lulay almost two quarters

CALGARY -- It took Travis Lulay almost two quarters to get his offence in synch, but once he did, the B. Charles Mann Jersey.C. Lions rolled. Lulay completed 30-of-37 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday to lead the Lions to a convincing 34-8 win over the Calgary Stampeders. Lulay tossed a pair of touchdown passes to Andrew Harris in the second half, but it was his 17-yard completion to Akeem Harris in the end zone late in the second quarter that was the turning point in the game. "Offensively, we had a little bit of miscommunication early in the game," said Lulay. "Once we settled in, that drive right before halftime, I think was the drive that kind of turned the tide for us just mentally on offence. It gave us some good momentum, some good confidence and we played much more complete football in the second half." Lulay, who has now completed at least one touchdown pass in each of B.C.s past 16 regular season games, drew praise from his coach Mike Benevides. "Travis is an outstanding quarterback and an outstanding leader," said Benevides. "I think he doesnt get enough credit. He plays with tremendous poise, hes got great study habits and he understands the game." Harris also commended Lulay for his poise as a starting quarterback. "No matter whats going on -- ups or downs -- hes pretty level headed and stays the same kind of guy," Harris said. "Its great to have a leader like that. His vibe just filters throughout the team." Paul McCallum kicked four field goals for the Lions (3-2), who snapped a two-game losing streak. "Its a huge win for us especially on the road and against a western team," Harris said. "Weve just got to build from this and continue on with more wins." The Stampeders (2-3) couldnt get anything going against the B.C. defence and had to settle for just a safety and two field goals by Rene Paredes. "We werent able to do anything in any of the three phases to turn the momentum, to seize the momentum," said Calgary coach and general manager John Hufnagel. "Thats such a large part of the game is momentum and we just werent able to do it." Calgary quarterback Kevin Glenn, who completed 19-of-28 passes for 245 yards, said the Stamps have to put the setback behind them leading into their next game on Aug. 9 in Hamilton against the Tiger-Cats. "The important thing is weve got to get over it," Glenn said. "Weve got to learn from it, but weve still got to forget it." Calgary went up 2-0 at 7:08 of the first quarter when McCallum was forced to concede a safety in his own end zone. On the Stampeders next drive, B.C. linebacker Adam Bighill intercepted an errant pass by Glenn to give the Lions the ball back. "We just played together tonight," said Bighill, who gave credit to B.C.s defensive line for their solid play. "They put pressure on the quarterback (and) helped me get that interception. It all starts up front ... big credit to those guys up front really helping us out tonight." After a nine-play, 40-yard drive, McCallum kicked a 39-yard field goal to put B.C. up by a point through one quarter of play. Paredes kicked a 42-yard field goal at 6:47 of the second quarter for the Stampeders before McCallum responded with one of his own from 45 yards out for the Lions four minutes later. Late in the first half, Lulay led B.C. on a seven-play, 74-yard drive that culminated with the 17-yard touchdown pass to Foster to put the Lions up 13-5. Paredes opened the second half with a 45-yard field goal before McCallum replied with a 28 yarder. With Calgary facing a third-and-three situation, the Stamps lined up in punt formation but instead tried a trick play when the ball was snapped directly to Arjei Franklin, who ran for a two-yard gain before being tackled. That resulted in a turnover on downs and gave the Lions great field position at Calgarys 44-yard line. Eight plays later, Lulay threw a five-yard touchdown strike to Harris in the end zone to give the Lions a 23-8 lead through three quarters of play. Harris also caught a 19-yard TD pass from Lulay in the fourth quarter, while McCallum added a 94-yard punt single and a nine-yard field goal. Notes: Calgarys all-time record in the regular season record against B.C. is now 95-76-5, including 53-33-2 at home. ... Veteran B.C. receiver Geroy Simon has now recorded at least one reception in 165 straight games, while Calgarys Nik Lewis increased his streak to 145 straight games. ... Defensive back Tad Kornegay, who signed with Calgary on Monday, made his season debut with the Stamps. Kornegay won his second Grey Cup last season as a member of the Lions. Robert Griffin III White Jersey. Justin Meram tied it for the Crew (3-4-2) in the 67th minute, 4 minutes after Dallas Zach Loyd was sent off for a second yellow card for his tackle on Meram. Meram struck from 35 yards after teammate Eric Gehrig stole the ball from Matt Hedges. Pierre Garcon Youth Jersey. Rizzo hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning and lifted the Chicago Cubs over the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Sunday. http://www.nflredskinsfansshop.com/ryan-kerrigan-womens-jersey/. Born and raised in Weyburn, Sask., Labatte played his university football with the Regina Rams before beginning a four-year stint with the CFLs Winnipeg Blue Bombers. London Fletcher Camo Jersey. “Trying to stay positive about tomorrow, its hard tho when you have two surgeries in 5 months. #faith,” Messam, who signed with the Miami Dolphins earlier this off-season, wrote on Twitter. Messam injured the same knee last year while playing in Edmonton. Darrell Green Jersey. Zambrano homered and pitched into the eighth inning, and Hanley Ramirez went deep, too, leading the Miami Marlins to a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.Canadas Simon Whitfield crashed just seconds into the bike portion of the mens triathlon in the London 2012 Olympic Games, ending his race early, in what is expected to be his final Olympic appearance. Whitfield, who came out of the water of the swim portion in 22nd place and forming part of the chase group behind the leaders, wobbled and hit a speed bump, crashing near the fencing as fans looked on. "I hit exactly the wrong spot and just launched myself over a barrier and ended up crowd surfing a little bit, which is fun at a concert but not at sporting events," Whitfield said. "Ive got some stitches, my knee is sore my other knee is sore, my collarbone hurts, but all in all Ill be out in the (Olympic) Park tomorrow." Great Britains Alistair Brownlee captured the gold medal on home soil, breaking away from the pack and never looking back at the start of the 10-kilometre run. As Brownlee rounded the corner to the final straightaway, he was handed a British flag, which he draped over his shoulders in his run to the finish line. He stopped short of the line a few steps, and looked back, before finishing the race in a time of one hour, 46 minutes and 25 seconds. "I just wanted to finish and have a sit down, obviously Im proud and happy but my overriding emotion was to get across the line and get it over and done with," Brownlee said. Spains Javier Gomez took the silver, while Jonathan Brownlee, Alistairs younger brother, took the bronze. Jonathan Brownlee was handed a 15-second penalty for mounting his bike too early. He served the penalty while running alone in third. No one came close to him after he had started running again. "I heard about it on lap two on the bike. I saw it on the board and I saw the number 31 and I thought it was Alistair," Jonathan Brownlee said. "I thought Alistair, you idiot, youve got a penalty. I looked down at my arm and I thought oh no, its me. "I was actually quite pleased to stop for 15 seconds to be quite honest because I was quite to tired." A combination of injuries and a damaged bike ended the 37-year-old Whitfields Olympic journey, as he tried to get back into a race he had prepared years ffor. Perry Riley Jersey "I wanted to keep going but my bike was in pieces and my leg and foot was gashed up pretty good," he said. "There was no way. I was right there. I had one of the best swims I had in a while. We train four years for this and unfortunately it happens. Ive had two incredible Olympics." Fellow Olympians took to Twitter to let Whitfield - Canadas flag bearer at London 2012 - know just how much he has meant to the Canadian Olympic team, since winning gold at Sydney 2000. "In 2000 I sat in my moms basement & watched @simonwhitfield tear the finish line down in Sydney. He inspired me to ask myself "why not me?," tweeted three-time Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden. He added: "In 2008 @simonwhitfields come back to silver inspired me to continue believing in myself when I felt like giving up." "Devastated for Simon. Witnessed first hand his incredible work ethic and commitment. He was so ready for this race. #hero," tweeted Paula Findlay, who trained with Whitfield in the lead up to the Olympic Games. "Devastating news for @simonwhitfield. You are and always will be a great champion and role model who is so well respected!," tweeted three-time Olympian and CTVOlympics Broadcaster Catriona Le May Doan. Whitfields first Twitter message after the race read: "Not how I envisioned this chapter ending. Its been a remarkable Olympic journey, more then I could have ever imagined. #ProudCanadian." There were two other Canadians in the race, who, like Whitfield, expected better results. "I am disappointed for sure. That was probably one of the worst swims and bikes that I have had in a long time," said Kyle Jones, who finished 25th in a time of 1:49:58. "The swim was so tough today. I got a lot of experience this week and I need to build from this." Brent McMahon finished in 27th, in a time of 1:50:03. "I was so close to bridging the gap today and I just missed it on the swim," McMahon said. "It was so rough out there. That is racing - some days you make those gaps and you are in the lead pack and other days you draw the bad lottery ticket. Thats the way it goes." ' ' '
