CALGARY – If you're looking for offence, Saturday's game at McMahon Stadium is the place for you.

The second-ranked University of Calgary Dinos (3-1) face the 1-3 Regina Rams at 2 p.m. Saturday, and the two most prolific offences in the conference will face off against each other. Combined, the two teams have averaged more than 1150 yards per game. Calgary's top-ranked rush offence led by conference MVP Mercer Timmis faces the vaunted passing attack of Regina.

Thanks to the Big Give Project, students from across Calgary and Southern Alberta will receive free admission to the game, with tickets distributed to high schools around the region. The game will be broadcast live on CanadaWest.tv.

It's the return to the field for a Dinos squad that just escaped the Manitoba Bisons with a 42-41 victory last week at home and will look to head into the Thanksgiving bye week with some solid momentum. The Rams, meanwhile, have lost three in a row after opening the year with a 33-23 home win over UBC. Since then, Regina has lost road games at Manitoba and Alberta, followed by a tight five-point setback to provincial rival Saskatchewan last week at Mosaic Stadium.

Here's a look at the two teams:

No. 2 Calgary Dinos (3-1)
Last week: defeated Manitoba 42-41; after bye: at Alberta

The Dinos have amassed more than 1,000 rushing yards through four games, far and away the best in the conference – UBC, the next-best team, hasn't crossed the 600-yard threshold yet. They'll face the second-best run defence in the conference in Regina, which has given up just 140 yards per game to this point.

It's a chance for the Dinos to regroup and refocus after a nailbiting win over Manitoba last Friday night, where five mistakes led to five Bisons touchdowns and Calgary had to survive a missed game-winning field goal attempt to eke out the win. Statistically, it was the Dinos' lowest offensive output of the season with 506 yards, but they somehow found a way to pick up the victory.

Brett Blaszko was named the CIS offensive player of the week after his three-touchdown performance in the game. Blaszko leads the nation in receiving touchdowns with six.

Regina Rams (1-3)
Last week: lost to Saskatchewan 16-21; after bye: at UBC

With a rookie quarterback starting for the first time, the Rams hung with the Saskatchewan Huskies last week and even led for most of the second half before giving up a touchdown in the final two minutes and falling by five points to their provincial rivals.

Getting the start in place of the injured Cayman Shutter, Noah Picton completed 26 of 45 passes for 355 yards and a touchdown, though he was intercepted three times by the Saskatchewan defence. His top target was Addison Richards, the veteran who leads the conference in receiving yards per game and sits just behind Calgary's Blaszko in receiving touchdowns with five.

While Regina boasts the most potent passing game in the conference, they've attempted to run the ball just 88 times in four games and are averaging a conference-low 121.5 yards per game along the ground. Defensively, though, the Rams have been solid at the line of scrimmage, with only the Dinos giving up fewer rushing yards so far in 2014.

Defensively, the Rams are led by sophomore linebacker Michael Stefanovic, whose 23 tackles ranks him sixth on the conference leaderboard.

Regina remains on the road after next week's bye, heading to Vancouver to face the UBC Thunderbirds in a game that will have major playoff implications.
