A look at some interesting figures from Sunday’s season opening loss in Saskatchewan…
5 – Days the team will remain in Regina. With a second western tilt scheduled for Friday in Edmonton, the Ticats will cut down on travel time on a short week by practising at the University of Regina.
6 – Receptions made by Sam Giguere on Sunday, tying his career high.
8 – Number of Tiger-Cats who made their CFL debut on Sunday: WR Matt Coates, DT Bryan Hall, LB Pawel Kruba, LB Beau Landry, RB Mossis Madu, LB Kyle Miller, OL Landon Rice, OL Carson Rockhill.
8 – Team-leading number of tackles made by linebacker Simoni Lawrence. If Lawrence continues this pace for the rest of the season, he could threaten JC Sherritt’s single-season CFL record of 130 tackles.
42 – Return yards registered by Rico Murray after picking off an errant Darian Durant pass in the fourth quarter.
72 – Jersey number of Tiger-Cats rookie defensive tackle Bryan Hall, who made three tackles, one sack and forced a fumble in Sunday’s loss.
175 – Approximate millimetres of rain that dropped in the 24 hours prior to kickoff in Regina.
217 – Days between the 2013 Grey Cup and Sunday’s rematch versus the Roughriders.
