UBC\u0027s perfect record is no more after the U of S Huskies pulled out a back\u002Dand\u002Dforth victory at Griffiths Stadium on Friday
And the stage was set, for all this:Saskatchewan’s David Solie kicked field goals of 50, 23 and 16 yards.The Huskies’ Ryker Frank returned a kickoff 105 yards for a touchdown.And then, to cap things off, UBC’s Kieran Flannery-Fleck and Saskatchewan’s Solie swapped fourth-quarter field goals of 36 and 42 yards. Solie’s missed 32-yarder with 1:46 left in the final quarter netted a single and a three-point lead, and the Thunderbirds couldn’t get back into field-goal range.
Saskatchewan quarterback Anton Amundrud completed 19 of 28 passes for 304 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Perry caught four balls for 139 yards, and Ted Kubongo ran 15 times for 92 yards.Article content“As I told the team right after, that’s more the brand of football we’re accustomed to playing and accustomed to seeing,” said Flory, whose team — Vanier Cup finalists each of the last two seasons — lost to Alberta and needed fourth-quarter rallies to defeat Manitoba and Calgary.
“There’s big plays by them, by us,” he added. “We had a kickoff return; they get a punt return. That’s what makes football so exciting, is the swings in the game. Nobody on the sideline panicked. Nobody wavered. You just lined up and played. I’m really proud of the boys.”
