The Huskies hit the road to stun the previously undefeated Calgary Dinos on Saturday in a 43-18 triumph at McMahon Stadium to capture their first Hardy Cup since 2006.
The Huskies, who were ranked No.6 in the country in the final Top 10 poll and were 5-3 in the regular season before reeling off back-to-back playoff road victories, now head east to face the defending Vanier Cup champion and undefeated Western Mustangs in the U Sports Mitchell Bowl this Saturday (3 pm CST, Sportsnet 360, CJWW 600) in London, Ont. The Laval Rouge et Or will face the St. Francis Xavier X-Men in the other national semifinal this weekend.
The Huskies, under second-year head coach Scott Flory, were led by Tyler Chow’s 222 yards rushing and two touchdowns in Calgary, while Saskatchewan’s defence was dominant, forcing seven turnovers.
