HUSKIES FOOTBALL RECAP:
After a tough loss to Alberta at home last week, the Huskies hit the road for the first time since Week 1 to take on the winless Calgary Dinos. Calgary got the scoring started early in the first quarter, but from that point on it would be all Huskies including a dominant fourth quarter on route to a 28-12 victory. Even in a dominant performance, it was the Huskies rushing game that lead them to victory. Ryker Frank rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown while Ted Kubongo rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. Anton Amundrud completed 20 passes for 171 yards but had 4 interceptions on the night. The Huskies improve to 3-and-1 on the season while the Dinos fall to 0-and-4
