Hamilton edges BC
Football Betting Lines
07/11/2009 - Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - DeAndra' Cobb rushed for 100 yards on 14 carries and caught a 48-yard touchdown pass, and Geoff Tisdale ran back an interception for a score to help carry Hamilton to a hard-fought 31-28 victory over the Lions at BC Place Stadium.
Quinton Porter had a TD on the ground and through the air to go with 222 passing yards on 19-of-24 efficiency for the Tiger-Cats (1-1), who were coming off a 30-17 loss to the Argonauts in the season opener and hadn't won at British Columbia since 2004.
Cobb and Chris Davis each caught five balls for 75 and 47 yards, respectively.
Buck Pierce logged 333 passing yards on 26-of-40 throws and threw three touchdowns, but his two interceptions proved costly for BC (0-2), which dropped a 28-24 decision to the Roughriders last week.
Martell Mallett recorded 82 rushing yards on 16 carries, and Geroy Simon paced the receiving corps with seven receptions for 86 yards and a score in defeat.
Tisdale changed game's momentum just after halftime, stepping in front of an errant Pierce pass and taking it 43 yards the other way for a 21-14 lead roughly five minutes into the third. The margin moved to 10 when Nick Setta booted a 27-yard field goal later in the quarter.
The Lions made it a one-possession game with Jarious Jackson's one-yard sneak over the goal line early in the fourth, but Cobb broke several tackles en route to a 48-yard touchdown reception with just under nine minutes to play.
Emmanuel Arceneux came down with a 42-yard bomb from Pierce with two minutes remaining to give the hosts one last chance.
The Lions got the ball back at their own 36-yard line with 1:16 left and Pierce moved the ball into enemy territory with a long scramble.
But on the very next play, former Lion Otis Floyd stepped back into coverage and picked off a Pierce pass, sealing Hamilton's impressive road win.
Setta knocked in a 51-yard field goal to open the game's scoring, and Pierce answered by hitting Paris Jackson on a 29-yard touchdown pass with 5 1/2 minutes to play in the first quarter for a 6-3 BC lead.
A Setta single was followed by a seven-play, 75-yard drive from the Lions, capped when Pierce hooked up with Simon on a five-yard out at the end of the opening quarter.
Hamilton followed a Paul McCallum single with a 75-yard drive of its own in the second stanza, with Porter rushing for a 13-yard touchdown midway through.
Setta's 42-yard field goal tied the score with just over two minutes to go in the half.
Game Notes
McCallum injured his right knee early in the second half and did not return...Last season, the Lions swept both contests in the series, first by claiming a 35-12 decision in early September and then an even more lopsided 40-10 final later the same month...Mallett also had 82 yards on six catches.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
