Nick Arbuckle, who was the senior QB for the St. Bonaventure Seraphs in 2011, got the start last week, for the Calgary Stampeders, after CFL star QB Bo Levi Mitchell went down with an injury the prior week. Arbuckle rose to the occasion, going 19 of 22 for 262 yards and 2 TD's and no interceptions in a 37-10 victory over QB Cody Fajardo and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

St. Bonaventure & Pierce College alum Nick Arbuckle had another good outing as the substitute starter of the Calgary Stampeders for the second straight week. Arbuckle went 24 of 40 for 368 yards, no TD's but no interceptions either. From what the local Calgary news had to say was the 23-30 loss to the first place Hamilton Tigercats could not be put on the shoulders of Arbuckle as there were several dropped passes as well as the teams inability to run the ball effectively. Oregon Duck alum Jeremiah Massoli is the QB for the Tigercats.

Meanwhile, Alemany's Vernon Adams Jr. had a very nice start for the Montreal Allouettes in their 36-19 victory over the Ottawa Roughriders. Adams was 23 of 30 for 327 yards and 2 TD's
