Ticats starter Jeremiah Masoli chasing CFL record versus Roughriders
HAMILTON — It’s been an impressive start to the season for Jeremiah Masoli.
The veteran quarterback will chase a record 10th straight 300-yard passing performance Thursday night when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2-2) host the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-2). Masoli is currently tied with Sam Etcheverry and former Ticats coach/GM Kent Austin for the league mark.
Masoli, 29, enters this week’s action second overall in CFL passing (1,378 yards) and having registered four straight 300-yard contests. On Thursday he’ll attempt to become just the fifth player in league history to start a campaign with five consecutive 300-yard performances.
“That’s what our mindset is, trying to win games and execute the plays that are called,” Masoli said. “You always want to have a balanced attack, for sure.
