Pure freshman Eric Dzwilewski was poised in the pocket in Friday night’s 24-21 Calgary win over Regina at McMahon Stadium.
The rookie out of Boise, Idaho, starting in place of Hec Crighton Trophy winner Erik Glavic, completed 13 of 20 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns, both beauties to Richard Snyder. He secured the ball and didn’t throw a single interception, and he made the Rams respect his running ability as well. He racked up 62 yards on seven carries, including one 23-yard scamper. Not bad for an 18-year-old in his first-ever CIS football game – and his first-ever start in Canadian rules football.
He was named the Canada West offensive player of the week.
Dzwilewski and the Dinos (1-1) head north to face the first-place University of Alberta Golden Bears (2-0) this Saturday afternoon.
