Ottawa Optimism Builds Around Offensive Line and Special Teams
Ottawa emphasizes its "heart and soul" line after losing backs Miller and Corder. The team has rushed for 2,120 yards in 10 games, with Jerod Brooks as a key weapon after multiple field goals and strong extra points. Punter Brent Miller and holder Josh Gibbons provide reliable special teams, while a bus trip to Wellington and a 9:45 a.m. pep rally underscore game day momentum.
