Training Camp 2013 Update: Running Back

The running backs will have slightly different look in 2013. Four year starter Stephen Lumbala graduated with his degree and is now playing for the Montreal Alouettes after being selected fifth overall in the CFL Draft. Known as a strong playoff performer with excellent ball security, Lumbala`s presence will be missed.
Mercer Timmis had an impressive freshman season last year and now takes over as the feature back. Timmis gave indication that he will be solid CW performer dressing for six games last year. Competing with Timmis for playing time is junior Denzel Morrison who also dressed and played considerably in 2012.
Pure freshman Connor McGough (Crescent Heights, Medicine Hat), converted linebacker Anthony Anderson and Mac Sarro are competing for time at the fullback spot.
Senior Cuong Thai-Lieu returns for his second year after a stellar career with the Calgary Colts is a solid change of pace. Other players contending for playing time are Jeff Schidlowsky, Quentin Chown and Jordan Gabriel-Cannon.
