Ticats Defence to Face Als Starter Alexander for First Time This Year in East Final
Davis Alexander is unbeaten in 11 career starts and led Montreal to a playoff win last weekend, facing Hamilton's top-ranked defence for the first time this season.
- Saturday afternoon, the Montreal Alouettes travel to Hamilton Stadium for the East Division final after Davis Alexander led Montreal past Winnipeg 42-33 in the semi-final to earn the trip.
- Hamstring injuries limited Davis Alexander, 27, to seven regular-season starts; he missed both games against the Ticats as Montreal went 3-8 without him.
- Statistically, Davis Alexander produced a 36-of-51 passing line for 509 yards, three TDs and one INT, plus season totals of 158-of-218 for 2,204 yards with 10 TDs and three INTs.

- Stakes include Stavros Katsantonis and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats trying Saturday to be the first CFL team to hand Davis Alexander a loss after he beat Hamilton twice last year, while coaches say Hamilton’s different looks may create indecision for Alexander.
