OUA FOOTBALL ROUNDUP
OTTAWA, Ont. - Josh Sacobie wasn't in the game long but managed to go deep into the Ontario University Athletics record book.
The Gee-Gees fifth-year quarterback missed on just three of 16 first-half passes for 325 yards and three touchdowns before sitting out to become the Ontario conference's all-time leader in career touchdown passes following a 71-3 win over York Saturday afternoon at Frank Clair Stadium.
"That was a pretty dominant performance by Ottawa," said Marcel Desjardins, the assistant general manager of the CFL Montreal Alouettes, who scouted the game. "York was not able to muster anything on either side of the ball."
The Gee-Gees finished with an unofficial 609 yards of total offence and 15 first downs to 152 yards of total offence and five first downs for the Lions.
Two of Sacobie's three scores went to fifth-year transfer Ivan Birungi, including an 80-yard bomb on the Gees second offensive play to tie Bill Kubas' record of 65 before connecting with second-year receiver Ezra Millington for a 29-yard touchdown five minutes later to establish a new conference career mark.
A 63-yard score to Birungi in the second quarter gave Sacobie, a six-foot-four drop back passer from the St. Mary's First Nation near Fredericton, his 67th career scoring pass as the Gee-Gees opened a 45-0 lead.
Ottawa (1-1) would score on eight of its first 10 possessions for a 48-0 lead at half-time. The win was the Gee-Gees largest margin of victory since a 72-0 win over the Varsity Blues Oct. 8, 2005 in Toronto.
York hit a 32-yard field goal with 47 seconds left in regulation to avoid a shutout. The Lions fell to 0-1, losing an 11th straight road game dating back to Sept of 2005 and falling to 3-12 all-time against Ottawa.
Sacobie sat in the second-half in favour of second-year backup Brad Sinopoli, who had a pair of scores to second-year receiver Marc Andre St-Hilaire for four scoring passes in two regular season games and a 65-0 Ottawa advantage after three quarters.
The Gee-Gees also scored on the ground, with running back Davie Masson lumbering 42 yards for a score in the first quarter and Sacobie calling his own number as first-quarter time expired from one yard for 31 points in the opening 15 minutes.
uOttawa was coming off a short week of practice following 35-31 season-opening loss at Western Ontario Monday night. The Gee-Gees surrendered 22 points in a five-minute span of the fourth quarter to lose the first game of the year for just the second time in Piche's seven seasons as head coach.
The Gee-Gees travel to Hamilton for a Saturday evening meeting against McMaster next week, while the Lions (0-2) are home to Toronto in a 1:00 p.m. kickoff.
WESTERN 31, LAURIER 20
It was another comeback. Another case of never giving up.
The trend continued for the Western Mustangs as they recovered from a ten-point first quarter deficit to defeat the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks 31-20 at the University Stadium on Sept. 6 in front of 6,432 fans.
John Leckie (Georgetown, Ont.) ran for two touchdowns, while rookie receiver Nick Trevail (London, Ont.) scored his first CIS touchdown in a game where Western only scored in even-numbered quarters.

Faulds (Eden Mills, Ont.) finished with 262 passing yards going 14 of 22.
In the first half, Wilfrid Laurier opened up a 10-0 lead in a dominating first quarter of play.
Luke Thompson, in his first start ever, got two cracks at a quarterback dive for a major at first and goal and second and goal, converting the second time to give Wilfrid Laurier its first lead at 7-0.
The play capped off an impressive drive for Wilfrid Laurier that started deep in their own territory.
Western's secondary, while giving up the occasional big play, was menacing with the physical play, landing some big, highlight-reel hits and keeping the Golden Hawks receivers wary and on guard. They were missing several starters and faced in-game injuries to make matters worse.
After a 27-yard Chris Mamo field goal that gave Laurier the 10-0 lead in the first quarter, Western began to put some plays together.
Western's turnaround began with a great set of defensive stances in the second quarter. Then some strong running from backup running back Leckie and timely big plays from receivers Trevail and Bellamy gave Western life.
The Mustangs first points came after the defence forced the Golden Hawks to concede a safety on a third down, deep in their own zone.
Then Leckie capped off an impressive five-minute, 11-play drive taking a delay draw into the end zone from 12 yards out to pull within one point, trailing 10-9.
Mamo scored a rouge off a missed 32-yard field goal and then on the ensuing Western possession, Bellamy continued his hot play, catching a pass for over 55 yards off a nice play action bomb from Faulds.
Then Trevail, a rookie wide receiver, opened up in single coverage to pull in a high, 26-yard pass from Faulds to give Western its first lead of the game.
It was Trevail's first CIS touchdown and couldn't come at a more timely point in the half - his catch gave Western the 16-11 lead.
Mamo scored a single off a punt with just over one minute left to make it 16-12 and then a Darryl Wheeler punt that was bobbled by Laurier on return resulted in a single point for Western and the Mustangs led 17-12 at the half.
A scoreless third quarter which saw both teams struggle to get rhythm on offence set up a fourth quarter finale.
With the ball at midfield, sophomore Nick Pasic, who caught two huge passes for first downs in the third, caught a huge pass on the first play in the fourth to get the ball on the five yard line
Leckie ran in his second touchdown of the play on a five yard scamper, breaking one tackle to give the Mustangs the 24-12 lead just 29 seconds into the fourth quarter.
Eric Willson (Lasalle, Ont.) capped off another drive with the touchdown, on his only rush of the game, making it 31-12 Mustangs with just over five minutes left.
A Troy Leach (Barrie, Ont) touchdown catch from Thompson with just over three minutes left pulled Laurier within 11 but it was too late as Western held on for the win, 31-20.

WINDSOR 38, TORONTO 14
Rookie Quarterback Sam Malian continued to impress on Saturday afternoon as he threw 4 touchdown passes to lead the Lancer Football team to a 38-14 victory over the Toronto Varsity Blues at University of Windsor Stadium.
On a beautiful afternoon at Alumni Field, the Lancers sent their fans home happy as they move to 2-0 in regular season play.
The Lancers got on track early in the first quarter as Malian hooked up with Ricky Postma on a 21-yard catch and run to give Windsor a 7-0 lead.
After Toronto gave up a safety to make it 9-0, the Lancer defence stepped up their play, hitting the Blues hard every time they touched the ball.
This seemed to spark the offence as the Lancers would extend their lead to 17 on an incredible pass play to wide receiver Cory Fernandes. On a ball thrown by Malian that seemed to hang in the air forever, Fernandes demonstrated incredible concentration as he made a one-handed catch while falling into the end zone for the major.
Toronto fought back into the game late in the second quarter when quarterback David Hamilton hit Cory Kennedy in the back of the end zone to cut the Lancers lead to ten, 17-7 at the half.
Toronto came out with momentum to begin the second half as Mark Stinson, a do-it-all player for the Blues, broke out for a 31 yard catch and run through the Lancer defence.
However, Windsor refused to back down and increased their lead in the third quarter. After stopping the Blues in their tracks and then a botched punt from Stinson, Malian hit CIS All-Canadian receiver Glenn MacKay with a 29-yard pass for his third touchdown toss of the game. Kicker Robert Eeuwes would nail a 32 yard field goal to stretch the Lancers lead to 27-7 at the end of the quarter.
The Blues continued to press as the fourth quarter began and scored their second major of the game on a 12-yard touchdown run from Hamilton.
The Lancers then began to eat time off the clock, as they moved the ball up the field via Daryl Stephenson. With the big running back leading the charge, Stephenson took a screen pass from Malian and ran through two Toronto defensive backs for the touchdown, the game out of reach.
Stephenson finished with 123 rushing yards on the day, leaving him just 113 yards shy of setting the CIS All-Time CIS Rushing record.
For Windsor, it was another impressive day behind centre for the rookie Malian. He completed 15 of 22 passes for 240 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Sandwich Secondary School product from LaSalle now has 7 touchdowns to go with just 1 interception through his first 2 games in the OUA. He has also spread the ball around well, as five Lancer receivers finished with 35 yards of more on the day and four separate receivers had touchdown receptions.
