INSIDE THE GAME

The Redblacks will start eight Canadians, one more than the mandated seven. Four of those — Mark Korte, Jakub Szott, Andrew Pickett and Nolan Macmillan

— are on the offensive line. Two Canadians — Anthony Coombs and Nate Behar — are listed as starting receivers. Then, there's Cleyon Laing (defensive line) and Antoine Pruneau (safety) ... Worth noting that former Laval offensive lineman Ketel Asse (an eighth-round selection in the 2020 CFL Draft) is listed as a backup ... Ottawa has allowed 18 sacks, only Hamilton is worse (22) ... It makes sense: If you have the ball less than your opponent, your chances of winning decrease. Ottawa has the CFL'S worst Time of Possession average, with 28:07. Hamilton is next worst at 28:53 ... Ottawa is best at a couple of things. The Redblacks have the least penalties (39) and least penalty yardage (347).
