Joltin’ Jon Jennings of the B.C. Lions seems to be developing it.

Four times this season, after the Lions struck out the previous game, the young quarterback has bounced back with a heroic effort to stop his team’s losing streak at one.

Saturday night, the Roy Hobbs of the Canadian Football League completed 80 per cent of his passes for 348 yards and three touchdowns as the Lions improved to 9-4 following a 40-33 shoot-em-up win over the Ottawa Redblacks at B.C. Place.

It is becoming a predictable pattern with Jennings. Every Lions loss this season is followed by an impressive bombardment from the right arm of B.C.’s quarterback.

After a 25-14 loss to Toronto Argonauts in July, Jennings threw for 429 yards and three touchdowns the next game against Saskatchewan, a 40-27 Lions victory.

In another rebound game, following two interceptions against the Calgary Stampeders in a 44-41 overtime defeat, Jennings had two touchdown passes and 331 yards next time out — a decisive 38-18 win in Montreal.
