Ottawa's Caleb Evans, who was coming off a solid performance last week, struggled mightily going 10-of-21 passing for 66 yards and one interception. He was replaced by Nick Arbuckle late in the third quarter, who hit on 17 of 23 passes for 186 yards and two interceptions.

The QB change did little to alter the Redblacks fate.

Trailing 17-0 after Ottawa conceded a single early in the fourth quarter, Arbuckle marched the Redblacks down to Calgary's nine-yard line before fumbling the football. However, offensive lineman Ucambre Williams was able to recover the ball.

Ottawa settled for a 25-yard field goal by Lewis Ward to finally get on the board. The score didn't come easy, as it bounced off the goalpost and went through to make it a 17-3 game with under five minutes remaining in regulation.

With time winding down, Arbuckle looked poised to find the end zone, but was picked off by Titus Wall at Calgary's one-yard line.
