The shift from Darian Durant was replaced in the third quarter.

After being told all week how their destiny was always in their hands, the Montreal Alouettes have really complicated the task by offering a dismal performance in the face of the Red and Black of Ottawa.

The troupe of Jacques Chapdelaine has done nothing worthwhile, one-quarter from Darian Durant was replaced in the third quarter and the Alouettes (3-7) have been leached 32-4 by the visitors.

Diontae Spencer, Josh Stangby and Greg Ellingson — on a beautiful pass of 42 yards to Trevor Harris — have recorded hit the Black and Red (4-6-1), who took advantage of two concurrent 30-yard Brett Maher. The attack of visitors has generated 426 yards net against 235 only for Larks, also dominated 27-12 chapter of the first tests obtained.

“We’ve been rotten. We’ve been dominated in every facet of the game, has clamored Tyrell Sutton off of him. I don’t know what to tell you more. We need to find solutions. It’s been two games in the last three, during which the attack does not hit. It is hard to explain. “

“You start to be tanned to say that we must turn the page and forget about our performance. It should be begins to play as the world, has launched Kristian Matte, used as a blocker to the left in the absence of Jovan Olafioye. This is very disappointing, the way it plays at this time. “

In addition to being unable to generate the attack, the Alouettes have also resulted in numerous penalties, including on the sequence that led to the first hit of the Red and the Black, where the Sparrows have been sentenced to no fewer than five penalties, including one for having caught the face shield of the opponent and another for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The visitors were able to sit in the line 2 of the Alouettes. Harris has easily joined Spencer on two yards to make the score 10-0. Mossis Madu has added two points on a run of two yards and a few seconds later.

“Indiscipline has made sure that our defensive unit remains on the field longer, allowing sequences offensive to Ottawa to continue,” said Chapdelaine. All in all, the Alouettes were penalized 11 times for 138 yards.

A few minutes later, on yet another release of Boris Bede, the ball went out of the endzone for a single. 18 325 spectators gathered in the stade Percival-Molson cheered in derision the first point of the premises. This is the kind of reaction that should worry the management of the club, especially as we had already heard a few boos, and that was not even at half-time.

Evening difficult for During

Pressed from all sides, Darian Durant has often been forced to get rid of the ball. It must be said that the line to the attack suffered a blow before the game when Olafioye has been striped of the training at the last minute. To say that the protection of the quarterback has been difficult is the understatement.

“We don’t want to use it as an excuse, but it plays currently with the guys who were in the training workout two weeks ago, noted Chapdelaine. I never knew how to 16h that Jovan could not play the match. We had to work quickly to adapt. “

To add insult to injury, a result of their more beautiful thrust of the gathering — a bomb 56 yards to B. J. Cunningham and a run of 18 yards During — Bede missed a attempt of investment of 42 yards on the last play of the first half, concluded by a score of 13-1.

The second half was hardly better. With the mark to 21-1, During threw his 11th interception of the season. Maher took the opportunity to register his second placement of the match and During had to give it up to Drew Willy on the following sequence, resulted in the placement of 53 yards of Bede.

“Yes, I was angry to have been removed from the game,” admitted Durant, who has completed 12 of his 21 passes for 140 yards. I didn’t think that I disputais a bad game. I believed that other factors had made it impossible to advance the ball. “

When asked to identify these factors, During said ” do not want to point the finger at anyone “, adding that he understood the decision of his coach. “I am 100 % behind him. “

In the fourth quarter, as if the fate of the Larks was not already sealed, Harris threaded the needle on 42 yards to Ellingson, who has picked up diving just in front of Tyree Hollins to make the score 31-4 after the transformation. The players of the Red and Black have not had to suffer to sell off the remaining time in the match thereafter.

Harris has completed 32 of his 41 passes for 343 yards of gains and three touchdowns, against one interception.
