OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks are looking to turn things around in the second half of the CFL season, and that starts with a solid outing against the Montreal Alouettes Saturday night.

The Redblacks are coming off their third straight loss, a 44-31 defeat to Toronto, and know they need to be better against division rivals to stay in the running for a playoff spot.

The 24-year-old is more than willing to run the ball. Crum leads the league with 7.9 yards per carry, the most of any rusher who’s had a minimum of 50 carries. Crum has played well, but sees room for improvement as the Redblacks look to end their losing streak. Quarterback Caleb Evans will get another start for the Alouettes, as Cody Fajardo is listed as the third string while he recovers from a shoulder injury.

Ottawa’s defence has been solid against the run, but they’re giving up a lot in the air, as was the case last week when Toronto’s Chad Kelly had 417 yards passing and four touchdowns.
