Burris, stout defense lifts Calgary to Grey Cup title

Football Betting Lines

11/23/2008 - Montreal, QC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Burris threw for 328 yards and a score and Sandro DeAngelis hit all five of his field goal attempts, including two in the fourth quarter, to help the Calgary Stampeders capture the 96th Grey Cup championship with a 22-14 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at Olympic Stadium.

Burris was 28-of-37 passing with an interception but also ran for 79 yards on nine carries and garnered Most Valuable Player honors for Calgary, which downed the B.C. Lions 22-18 in the West Division final to qualify for its first Grey Cup berth since 2001 - when it beat Winnipeg also at Olympic Stadium.

DeAngelis, who was the regular season scoring leader with 217 points, finished with 16 points and drilled kicks of 50 and 30 yards down the stretch to help ice what was a 16-14 game and earned Most Valuable Canadian honors for his effort.

Nik Lewis caught 11 passes for 122 yards and Brett Ralph hauled in a TD catch in the victory.

The Stamps finished the regular season with the league's best mark at 13-5 with a defense that gave up an average of just 21.5 points per game to lead the CFL. Calgary's defense gave up just one second-half point after trailing 13-10 at halftime and was led by defensive end Mike Labinjo, who recorded a sack and three tackles in the win. Shannon James came up with a huge fourth- quarter interception in the end zone with Montreal threatening.

Labinjo also ran wild against the Lions with three sacks and eight tackles - two huge ones for losses coming on a crucial goal-line stand - as the Stampeders managed to keep B.C. from scoring a touchdown in the West final.

Anthony Calvillo was 29-of-38 on pass attempts for 352 yards but threw two interceptions for Montreal, which defeated the Edmonton Eskimos 36-26 in the conference final to advance to its sixth Grey Cup championship since 2000. However, the Alouettes have just one CFL title over that stretch, that coming in 2002.

Damon Duval hit on both his field goal attempts and added a single, while Avon Cobourne scored the lone Alouette touchdown and had 40 yards rushing. Jamel Richardson had six catches for 123 yards and Ben Cahoon caught eight balls for 99 yards but the league's best offense couldn't find the end zone more than once against a stout Stamps defense.
