Stampeders send Ti-Cats packing with 60-1 beatdown

The Calgary Stampeders were able to essentially do whatever they wanted on the football field Saturday night, delivering a 60-1 thrashing of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for their fourth win of the season.

Aside from a lone point recorded in the second quarter, the Ti-Cats were simply stymied by their opposition. Calgary's Bo Levi Mitchell completed 11-of-17 passes for 197 yards and one touchdown before being lifted for Andrew Buckley, who was perfect on the night, completing all 10 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown.

Neither Zach Collaros or Jeremiah Masoli had any sort of answer for the lowly Tiger-Cats, despite Collaros completing 14-of-21 passes. Luke Tasker was a lone bright spot on offense, reeling in 82 yards on nine receptions.

The receiving spotlight, however, was firmly on Stampeders wideout Marken Michel, who had a game-high 190 yards on just six receptions.

The win was especially sweet for the Stampeders, as the franchise celebrated a reunion of its 1992 Grey Cup-winning team during pregame ceremonies.

The Stampeders remain in the thick of things in the West Division, with the win moving their overall record to 4-1-1. They will take on the Toronto Argonauts on Aug. 3 at BMO Field in Toronto.

The Ti-Cats are still struggling to find any semblance of success, as the loss keeps them in the league's basement with an 0-5 record. Their next chance to enter the win column will be on Aug. 4 when they travel to take on the Edmonton Eskimos.
