The Huskies will now make the short trip south to Regina’s Mosaic Stadium in search of their fourth Vanier Cup in Huskie history, as they face the Montreal Carabins in the 60thh Vanier Cup this Saturday, Nov. 22 at 1 pm.

“There’s a different edge to this group here right here, right now,” said Huskies head coach Scott Flory after guiding his team to victory in the Mitchell Bowl. “You can see that on the field, you can see it in the play, you can see it in the preparation from our end, and you can feel it—you can feel it in the physicality and how we’re playing. There’s a focus here. We’re down to two teams and we’re one of them, so we’ve got another week to play football. What more could you ask for?”
