    Default Grey Cup Sunday:Alouettes face Roughriders for 98th edition!

    For the 17th time in Grey Cup history, there will be a rematch of the previous year's game.

    One year after the Montreal Alouettes defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders on a last-second field goal, the two teams will meet again in the 98th Grey Cup today in Edmonton. The game can be seen live on TSN and TSN.ca at 6pm et/3pm pt with pre-game coverage on TSN beginning at 1 pm et/10 am pt.

    Saskatchewan has had the bitter taste of disappointment in their mouths for the past year, and will be looking to exact some revenge on the Alouettes this time around.

    Roughriders' players were celebrating their apparent Grey Cup victory before a penalty on the final play of the game gave the Alouettes one more chance.

    With Saskatchewan up 27-25, Als' kicker Damon Duval missed a game-winning field goal as time expired, only to be given a second chance when the Riders were penalized for too many men. Duval connected on his second try, giving Montreal the 28-27 win, and adding to the long list of heartbreak over the years for Rider Nation.

    Alouettes' RB Avon Cobourne was named Grey Cup MVP after gaining 149 yards rushing and receiving and scoring a touchdown. Ben Cahoon took home Most Valuable Canadian after his five catch for 57 yards and a touchdown performance.

    The two teams have met twice since last year's infamous Grey Cup, splitting the series one game apiece.

    They kicked off the 2010 regular season in what was another instant classic, with Saskatchewan edging Montreal 54-51 in a four-quarter shootout. Darian Durant threw for 481 yards and five touchdowns in the win while Anthony Calvillo answered with a performance nearly as impressive, throwing for 368 yards and four touchdowns.

    Despite being Week 1, it was a victory that Riders head coach Ken Miller did not want his offensive unit to underestimate.

    "It's going to reinforce the fact that we're never out of it," said Miller after the game. "They're going to believe in each other. Our offence is going to know that they can score points. And our defence is going to know that our offence can score points."

    Their second meeting this year didn't feature nearly as much fireworks. Montreal topped the Riders 30-26, with Durant outperforming Calvillo in a losing cause. Durant threw for 445 yards and two touchdowns, while Calvillo recorded 252 yards and two touchdowns to no interceptions.

    "We have to do a better job on offence because that was honestly terrible," said Calvillo, who will be looking for his third Grey Cup ring on Sunday.
