The Redblacks tore the Blue Bombers apart 44-21 on Friday night, decisively winning a showdown between a pair of Canadian Football League teams that had been 5-3.

It was as about as complete of a game as you could expect from the Redblacks, who overcame three slip-ups.

Any doubts about quarterback Trevor Harris? All he did was put up 361 passing yards on 29 completions, constantly finding seams in the Blue Bombers defence and moving his team up and down the field.

“We came out with a certain type of energy,” Harris said. “I think our team could feel we had some off time coming and we could just press toward the goal, come into a tough environment and get a win.”

Anybody doubting that this year’s version of the Redblacks can finish games? They certainly took proper notice of that 42-41 loss to the Toronto Argonauts two weeks earlier, when they blew a 24-point lead. There was no let-up Friday.
