The University of Toronto Varsity Blues football team dropped a 53-32 decision to the Carleton Ravens in their 1000th game in program history on Saturday, October 4 as Ravens Field.
With the loss, the Blues drop to 1-5, while the Ravens improve to 3-2 on the year.
Fourth-year Blues quarterback Simon Nassar (Toronto) completed a CIS single-game record 49 passes, on 62 attempts. He threw for a career-high and U of T single game record 548 yards and three touchdowns.
He passes former U of T QB Dan Feraday’s CIS single-game passing completions record of 41, as well as Feraday’s U of T single-game passing yards record of 546 yards, both set on Oct. 17, 1981.
Nassar added 45 rushing yards on six carries in the loss.
Three Blues receivers also hit career-high numbers. Sophomore Llevi Noel added 12 receptions, and a career-high 199 yards and two majors, while Kevin Bradfield had 14 catches for 154 yards. Domenic Battistella also reached a personal best 117 receiving yards on 11 catches.
Jordan Gillespie notched a team-high eight tackles, while Jaiden McBride had six in the loss.
Down 23-0 early in the second quarter, the Blues got on the board when Nassar connected a 52-yard pass with Noel, which set up a Marcus Hobbs one-yard rushing TD. Eric Hewtison added a 32-yard field goal, but the Ravens scored twice more to take a 37-10 lead into halftime.
The third quarter saw the Ravens kick two field goals, while Noel notched his first score of the day off a 24-yard pass from Nassar. The Blues trailed 43-17 heading into the fourth quarter.
Rahual Madan scored early in the fourth on a 10-yard reception, but the Ravens answered back with a TD and field goal to halt the comeback attempt. Noel added his second major of the day off a six-yard pass with two minutes remaining in the game.
The Varsity Blues return to action next Saturday, October 11 as they travel to Kingston, Ont., to take on the Queen’s Gaels. Toronto returns home for their final home game of the season on Saturday, October 18 when they host the Waterloo Warriors at Varsity Centre. Game time on both days is 1 p.m.
