With five All-Canadians sidelined for the Calgary Dinos Friday night, one of the three that remained stepped it up big time.
Fourth-year receiver Nathan Coehoorn, a first team All-Canadian wide receiver last season, was pressed into service on special teams to return punts and kicks. And he put up big numbers.
Coehoorn returned 10 punts a total of 182 yards, including a monster 76-yard punt return TD that gave the Dinos some badly-needed insurance just two minutes after they scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter.
For his efforts, Coehoorn was named the Canada West special teams player of the week.
The Dinos (1-1) head to Edmonton this Saturday to face the first-place, 2-0 Alberta Golden Bears.
