Key Player Matchups
- QB Hunter Swift (Calgary) vs. UBC Secondary – Swift’s arm strength will test a Thunderbirds defense missing a key starter in Ciraolo-Brown.
- RB Isaiah Knight (UBC) vs. Calgary Front Seven – Knight’s downhill running style could control tempo if he’s fully fit.
- WR Tyson Philpot (Calgary) vs. UBC CBs – If Philpot plays, his big-play ability stretches defenses vertically.
- UBC OL (with Benedet’s status uncertain) vs. Calgary Pass Rush – The Dinos’ edge rushers could exploit any weakness in protection.
