Six-goal second half from Zach Manns leads Sask. Rush to comeback victory
7m ago
Rush turned an 8-3 fourth quarter deficit into a 9-8 victory in its home opener.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made their call.
Zach Collaros will get starter’s money going into the 2020 CFL season. Matt Nichols, who missed time with a shoulder injury last season, is no longer considered the starter in the Manitoba capital after five seasons.
Collaros, who joined the Bombers on Oct. 9, won four regular-season games and three playoff games to lead the Bombers to their first championship in nearly three decades. With the news of the Collaros signing earlier this week, Nichols experiences a cruel reality of sport.
If healthy, Nichols is going to be a good option for another team this coming season. Nichols, Ryan Dinwiddie and Jacques Chapdelaine might make for a strong offence in Toronto. It’s always hard to know how free agency will play out, but Nichols does deserve a meaningful shot somewhere in this league if he’s 100 per cent.
As for the Bombers, they’ve put their faith in a 31-year-old quarterback who strung just seven wins together in 2019. That’s a move that hardly ensures a repeat trip to the championship game in 2020.
