Murphy, Ranek too much for Stamps
Canadian Press
OTTAWA (CP) - Yo Murphy caught two touchdown passes from Kerry Joseph and Josh Ranek ran for 137 yards in the first half as the Ottawa Renegades defeated the Calgary Stampeders 33-18 Saturday night at Frank Clair Stadium.
Ranek finished the game with 21 carries for 177 yards.
Matt Kellett added a pair of field goals to the Renegades' 27-point outburst in the first half.
The offence dried up in the second half with Ottawa managing just two more Kellett field goals. But the solid Renegades defence shut the Stampeders down, allowing only a four-yard touchdown run by Joffrey Reynolds.
The win improved the Renegades' record to 2-2 while the Stampeders fell to 1-2. The game was delayed 29 minutes as a thunderstorm rolled through the area. The weather couldn't be blamed for the small announced crowd of 16,303 as it was sunny until about 15 minutes before the scheduled kickoff.
The Renegades went into the second half holding a 27-11 advantage, but the score was a little flattering to Calgary who scored their first TD of the game with two seconds remaining in the first half. Burris connected with Copeland on a nine-yard scoring play capping a drive that started with a 23-yard strike to Nikolas Lewis and 16- and 15-yard passes to Brett Ralph.
Less than a minute earlier Murphy hauled in his second TD pass of the night, this one a 10-yarder from Joseph, and after the Kellett convert, the Renegades had a 27-4 lead.
After Burke Dales kicked a 71-yard single to get the Stamps on the board, he hit an 11-yard field goal narrowing Ottawa's lead to 16 points.
The Renegades opened the second quarter with 10 straight points, with Murphy hauling in a Joseph pass for a 50-yard catch and run TD. At 5:44 of the quarter Kellett was successful on a 23-yard field goal attempt, after closing out the first quarter with a 29-yard field goal.
The defence opened the scoring when Robert Grant forced a Burris fumble and Kyries Hebert recovered and scampered 23 yards for the touchdown.
Hey look who's 2-2!
