Collaros led another exciting comeback in a hostile environment. He finished the evening completing 25 of 36 pass attempts for 330 yards and a single-game career-high four touchdowns, and also added four rushes for 20 yards. The former Cincinnati Bearcat completed passes to seven different receivers and threw all four of his touchdowns to four different teammates. In the Argos’ last three games, all victories, Collaros has completed 73 of 108 pass attempts for 891 yards, 7 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions.
Andre Durie led all receivers in Calgary with 9 receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown, his second score of 2013. Utilized in both the slot and in the backfield, Durie finished the day with 81 total yards from scrimmage. The product of Mississauga, Ontario, now leads the entire CFL in receptions with 69, and leads his team (fifth in the CFL) with 733 yards. Durie, who is first in the CFL in yards after the catch (543),is well on his way to eclipsing his career high in receptions (70) and receiving yards (842), both of which were recorded during the 2012 season.
