The back end of the September doubleheaders takes place Friday night at Commonwealth Stadium, where the Edmonton Eskimos will seek to improve on some of their errors from this past Monday, errors that snatched defeat from the jaws of potential victory.
A few critical errors in the fourth quarter last Monday allowed Calgary to mount a comeback in the Labour Day Classic, a comeback which for the most part the Eskimos could have fully erased if not for their miscues.
It is no doubt to those points that head coach Kavis Reed will have addressed to his team in the short week run up to the Friday night game, eager to make corrections and pick up where the Esks left off in the third quarter.
For Calgary, after some struggles in August, the edge of the seat comeback on Labour Day could provide the momentum boost the team has been looking for, head coach John Hufnagel will be looking for more consistency as the Stamps take to the field Friday night, far too many times this season Stamps drives have come to a crashing end owing to a turnover or inability to convert a second down into a first.
Kerry Joseph has been tagged for his second consecutive start, coach Reed more than confident after last weeks stellar performance by Joseph to let him take the reins for one more week as starter Steven Jyles recovers from injury.
Despite the loss to the cousins to the south on Monday, Edmontonians seem to be taking to their Eskimos, the crowd for Friday night is anticipated to be a large one, heavily weighted towards the home side we imagine.
The volume of the noise wholly dependant on how the Eskimos are faring against the Stamps.
