HAMILTON — Four games into the season the Ticats are coming off a bye week with an even record and looking to make a run.

They are through probably the toughest stretch of their schedule having started in Calgary and Edmonton, returned home for a game against Winnipeg and then headed back out west to take on Saskatchewan.

That’s three of the toughest road games the Tabbies will have all year already in their rearview mirror.

The 2-2 record has to be considered encouraging with that stretch behind them but what is more encouraging is that the team has yet to really hit its stride.

The defence has been solid. Only Calgary’s defence has allowed very points or yardage.

Jeremiah Masoli and the offence have moved the ball effectively and efficiently.

But for whatever reason that stellar defence the Tabbies boast has not turned into the turnovers one would expect from such a solid group.

To date the Ticats’ defence has turned opponents over just five times in four games, twice on interceptions, twice on fumbles and once on downs.
