It was another case of the good, the bad and the ugly for the B.C. Lions on Saturday night but, while they took the scenic route getting there, they ended up in the same place.

The Lions are now 1-9 and if hard questions aren’t being asked about the Ed Hervey-DeVone Claybrooks administration, someone isn’t doing their job.

Offensive line simply offensive

Despite controlling the clock for almost 20 minutes of the first half while gaining over 200 yards in total offence, the Lions found themselves in a 3-3 tie after 30 minutes.

Apparently that wasn’t good enough for the Lions’ coaching staff. On a second and four from their own 37, the Leos attempted a shovel pass out of punt formation to Ryan Lankford which was squashed by the Ticats.

Seven plays later Ticats backup quarterback David Watford carried over from the one-yard line on third down, giving the visitors a 10-3 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
