Collaros powers Blue Bombers over Stampeders to keep perfect season alive

Nic Demski and Dalton Schoen caught two touchdown passes each from quarterback Zach Collaros as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat host Calgary Stampeders 35-28 in CFL action Saturday night to stay undefeated.

Collaros had a superb game for Winnipeg (8-0) as he completed 22-of-30 passes for 270 yards.

Marc Liegghio kicked two field goals and a single for the Bombers, who will look to keep their winning streak alive when they travel to Monteal to face the Alouettes next Thursday.

Rene Paredes kicked five field goals for the Stamps, including one from 53 yards out, which was the longest of his career.

The Stamps jumped out to an early 6-0 lead thanks to a pair of field goals — from 25 and 38 yards — by Paredes.

Led by Collaros, the Bombers responded with a 10-play, 70-yard scoring drive that Demski capped off by catching a four-yard touchdown pass in the end zone with 33 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

After Paredes opened the second quarter with his record-setting field goal, Demski responded with a 10-yard touchdown catch to cap off a six-play, 70-yard drive by the Bombers.
