After losing a heart-breaker on Labour Day, the Edmonton Elks will look for the split in the Labour Day series when they host the Calgary Stampeders in the Labour Day rematch.

The Elks are 2-2 with Ford at quarterback, he ran for 135 yards in the loss and set a CFL record in the process for most rushing yards by a Canadian quarterback in a game.

Ford did have two pass attempts of 20 yards or more but didn’t connect on either one. Stampeders quarterback Jake Maier was three-for-four on pass attempts of 20 yards or more, for 81 yards. Maier recorded his ninth 300-yard passing game in the victory. On the flip-side, the Elks defence struggled again to contain the run allowing a 6.9-yard rushing average and 107 yards.

The Elks will have three players return from injury on Saturday. Defensive back Loucheiz Purifoy returns after missing three games with a calf injury as will start at safety.
