The crown jewel of Edmonton's five-consecutive-Grey-Cups dynasty against the CFL's greatest American team.Travis Lulay, Andrew Harris and Geroy Simon would cause problems for any team, especially when enjoying the kind of momentum they had heading into the 99th Grey Cup. But Warren Moon and the Edmonton Football Team proved time and again they could find ways to win when it mattered most in 1981.
On the defensive side of the ball, 27-year-old John Bowman was at the beginning of his prime as one of the CFL’s most threatening defensive ends. But our TSN experts know the Stallions were just too good. Baltimore quarterback Tracy Ham could use his arm or his legs to shred defences. And if Ham couldn’t beat opponents on his own, 1995 all-star running back Mike Pringle and slotback Chris Armstrong helped out. And Stallions’ defensive end Elfrid Payton and linebackers O.J.
The Stallions didn’t have to follow the import rule. It was an all American team. Bit of an advantage.
Travis Lulay’s first with BC should be up there shouldn’t it? 0-5 all the way to the cup?
