Ottawa Renegades News Release
OTTAWA - Ottawa Renegades defensive end Anthony Collier was named the Rogers-CFL Lineman of the Week for the second consecutive Tuesday, following a stellar performance against the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday, October 29.
In the Week 17 affair at Frank Clair Stadium, Collier sacked Alouettes quarterback Anthony Calvillo once. He also picked off a pass and recorded three defensive tackles.
The second-year Renegade, who came to Ottawa out of Baylor University in 2004, is also now tied as the CFL leader in sacks (12) and has 31 tackles for the season.
This is the third time Collier has won the lineman of the week award. He previously was the recipient after a five-sack effort at B.C. in July and also last week, following an outstanding performance against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The 26-year-old, who measures 6-foot-3 and 255-pounds, was playing despite a nagging knee injury that nearly kept him out of the line-up.
The Renegades return to action at home on Sat. Nov. 5 when they host the Toronto Argonauts at 3 p.m. in the final game of the regular season. Tickets to the Nov. 5 game are available either at the Renegades ticket office (1015 Bank Street), on the Internet (http://www.capitaltickets.ca), by phone (613.599.3267 or 877.788.3267), any Sports Experts location in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions as well as the Corel Centre Box Office in Kanata.
