Former #UConn products Julius Williams and John Delahunt have a sack, touchdown catch in #CFL games last night Post original url/1dxveT3


>>Former UConn defensive end Julius Williams had a pair of tackles including his first sack of the season as the British Columbia Lions defeated Edmonton 17-3 in a Canadian Football League Saturday night. It was the eighth career sack for Williams and ironically the other seven came with Edmonton, a team he played with during the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Former UConn tight end John Delahunt registered his first professional touchdown as he caught a 12-yard TD with 6:30 left in the fourth quarter. Delahunt's touchdown proved to be the winning score in Hamilton's 25-20 win over Winnipeg on Saturday.

Former Husky Larry Taylor had 135 all-purpose yards in Calgary's 22-14 win over Montreal on Friday. Taylor had two catches for 29 yards, returned three kickoffs for 71 yards and added 35 yards on six punt returns.<<

And ...

Where are our latest Canadian recruits?

Frankly, we had a very great run. Petrus, Delahunt, Joseph, Bedard, Wilson, etc etc. I'm getting the impression that PP's staff aren't even going to the combines or making the calls like they are used to.

Damn, little LT's neck is larger, in diameter, than his head. More seriously, I wish he'd get another chance as a KR in the NFL.
