HAMILTON – Here’s a numerical breakdown of what went down during the Alouettes’ tough 39-24 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Saturday night at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
494 – Combined games played between pivots Anthony Calvillo and Henry Burris, the league’s two most experienced starting QBs.
31,305 – Yards separating Burris and AC on the all-time career passing list. The two started the night on opposite ends of a 31,291-yard chasm, but Calvillo widened the gap after throwing for 14 more yards than his Hamilton counterpart despite the loss.
32 – Total yardage of Brandon London’s touchdown play. His highlight-reel catch marked his first TD of the season, and sparked a late surge that got the Alouettes as close as within 8 in the third.
6 – Times slotback S.J. Green has gone over the century mark in his career as he hauled in a team-high 110 yards.
3 – The number of TDs rookie Patrick Lavoie has snagged in as many games since scoring his first, at home on July 6.
428 – Career touchdown passes by Calvillo as the veteran pivot tossed for three more on the night.
261 – Days since John Bowman last recorded a defensive tackle during the regular season, as the Als’ defensive end saw his first action of the 2012 season following a knee injury he suffered during training camp last month.
1 – Yard-line from which Hamilton’s drive started after Sean Whyte’s punt in the third quarter pinned the Tiger-Cats’ offence deep inside their own territory. This was the first time this season that Whyte forced the opposition to start deep inside its own 10-yard line.
1 – Number of times the Alouettes have faced QB Henry Burris as a Tiger-Cat following tonight’s game. By comparison, the Als have faced their own QB, football’s all-time leading passer Anthony Calvillo as a Tiger-Cat five times, between 1995 and 1997.
3 – The number of Alouettes making their 2012 debut as John Bowman, Bo Bowling and Michael Ola were all in uniform for tonight’s game.
