Jeremi Doyon-Roch passed for 362 yards and a pair of touchdowns as Sherbrooke rallied for a 39-13 victory over McGill in Quebec university football action before 3,145 at Percival Molson Stadium, Friday. It marked McGill third largest home-opening crowd dating back to 1995.
It was a sobering loss for the Redmen, however, as they fell to 0-2 on the season, while registering their 14th consecutive setback since their last conquest in 2009.
Doyon-Roch, a freshman pivot from Montreal, completed 26 of 37 passes as the Vert & Or generated 450 net yards compared to only 223 by McGill. His favourite target was Simon Charbonneau-Campeau of St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., who hauled in eight passes for 131 yards.
“We took way too many penalties, especially for offside and that put us in a big hole; there were just made too many mistakes out there,” said McGill head coach Sonny Wolfe of his troops, who were penalized nine times for 30 yards. Incredibly, seven of the infractions were for offside, a very uncommon penalty in CIS football.
McGill jumped into early 3-0 and 10-3 leads after capitalizing on two Sherbrooke turnovers, which parlayed into a 25-yard field-goal by Austin Anderson — his first of two — only 82 seconds after the opening kickoff and a 41-yard fumble-recovery for touchdown by defensive lineman Alex Hutchison of Beaconsfield, Que.
The Vert & Or bounced back to take a 13-10 lead by halftime on a one-yard TD plunge by sophomore Jean-Christophe Beaulieu, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound running back from Trois-Rivieres. Kicker William Dion of Drummondville added a pair of field-goals as Sherbrooke built up a 22-13 edge after three quarters. He finished the game with 13 points and went 3-for-3 in field-goals, making distances of 31, 35 and 34.
McGill quarterback Dallon Kuprowski, an 18-year-old freshman who was making his second career start, was good on 15-of-28 for only 136 yards and a pair of interceptions. He was relieved by Ryne Bondy in the final quarter. Bondy, a senior from Richmond Hill, Ont., fumbled on his first play, then completed two of six passes for 23 yards.
McGill’s top receiver was Gabriel Aubry, a senior from Lanoraie, Que., who collected five passes for 52 yards. The Redmen ground game was somewhat of a disappointment as senior Tyler Kuprowski led the way with only 53 yards on seven carries. His younger brother Dallon was limited to five carries for 33 yards.
Sophomore defensive back Mattey Ossom of Dorval, Que., led the McGill defence with a game-high nine total tackles, including eight solos.
The Redmen travel to the Maritimes next week to take on the Acadia Axemen in Wolfville, N.S. Sherbrooke (2-0) will play host to Laval.
In other Quebec league games on Saturday, Concordia (0-1) plays at Bishop’s (0-1), while the Montreal Carabins (1-0) travel to Quebec City to take on Laval (1-0) in the French-language CBC’s game-of-the-week matchup.
