CFL Receiving Yards Leaders (Since 2008)

More tough news for the Alouettes as slotback Jamel Richardson has been lost for the remainder of the 2013 season. J-Rich suffered a torn LCL and ACL in his left knee during practice on Sunday and will require surgery. The expected recovery time for the injury is 9 to 12 months.
Despite a dip in production last season and numbers that reflect the Als’ slow start this year (197 yards in 5 games), Optimus Prime still has the most receiving yards in the CFL since joining Montreal in 2008.

Shortest Head Coaching Tenures in Alouettes History
Posted: August 1, 2013 in 2013 CFL SeasonTags: Coaching, Dan Hawkins, Jim Popp, Montreal Alouettes, Team Records
Jim Eddy (1981) 6 (finished 1981 season as interim HC)
Darrell Mudra (1966) 14 (1 full season)
Rod Rust (2001) 17*
Bob Price (1996) 18 (1 full season)
-Among 20 Alouettes Head Coaches Since 1946
*Jim Popp replaced Rust for final game of 2001 regular season
This is the Als’ 5th in-season head coaching change in franchise history and
3rd time Popp has been named the replacement: 2001-Rod Rust (fired),
2006-Don Matthews (health issues), 2013-Dan Hawkins (fired).
Also of note, this is the earliest dismissal of a CFL head coach to start a season since Greg Marshall was let go by Hamilton following an 0-4 start in 2006.
Trivia Question: When was the last time a head coach was fired during the season following a victory?
Answer: Greg Mohns in 2000. BC fired him on August 19th following a 36-26 win over the Argos 2 days earlier.
Mohns was replaced by Steve Buratto, and oddly enough, the Lions went on to win the Grey Cup that year!
2013 CFL Clutch QB’s (through Week 5)

Als’ 20-year CFL veteran Anthony Calvillo avoided the club’s first 0-3 start at home since 1972 by leading his second 4th Quarter Comeback of the 2013 season.
AC improved his record in 4th Quarter Comeback Opportunities this season to 2-2, while Eskimos’ Mike Reilly dropped his first clutch QB decision of the campaign.
Reilly led the green & gold 74 yards downfield, but running back John White was ultimately denied on the game’s final play as the Als held on for the 32-27 victory.
Since 2011, Calvillo is tied with Kevin Glenn for the most 4th Quarter Comebacks in the CFL (5).

Anthony Calvillo, MTL – 4QC Win + GWD vs. EDM
