The Redbirds’ two successes were the work of quarterback Eloa Latendresse-Regimbald on quarterback sneaks. The latter completed 15 of 32 attempted passes for 196 yards in the air and was also the victim of two thefts.
The Rouge et Or will be back in action on Sunday, October 8th when the Concordia Stingers visit TELUS-UL Stadium. This duel will also be broadcast on TVA Sports.
The Redbirds, for their part, will receive a visit from the Carabins of the Université de Montréal next Friday. This will not be an easy task as the Blues have not lost in five matches so far in 2023.
