Austin Collie w/ BC Lions

In BC's first regular-season game, Collie was second on the team in receiving (5 catches for 65 yards and 1 TD) and was the only receiver to score.



In their second game of the season, Collie was the leading receiver (6 catches for 84 yards, 1 TD, and 1 2-pt conversion). Collie's late TD (seen below) and subsequent 2-pt conversion helped push the game into OT where the Lions eventually won.

Collie had just one catch for 10 yards in the Lions' win over the Roughriders (not to be confused with the Rough Riders). It was a rainy game, the Lions only completed twelve passes total.

3 catches for 20 yards and the Lions blow a 21-0 lead to lose 30-27 to Toronto.

Keep these coming Schmoe. I like to see how Collie is doing, The qb played at Montana State and I like Canadian football.



Thanks

I would like to watch a game. If you see it coming on TV let us know.

Right now they play fairly regularly on ESPN 2 and almost all the games are on watchespn. I'll post when they come up.

In Thursday's game vs. Winnipeg, Collie had 4 catches for 34 yards in the first half, then the QB sucked it up in the second half and threw three picks. BC again blows a first-half lead, losing 23-13.

Enter John Beck?

Collie had three catches for 18 yards last night. Collie appears to be drawing the attention of the defense - he was doubled fairly often. He was targeted deep twice: one was a bad overthrow and the other was an underthrown pick.



I'm really not impressed with the Lions QB, Lulay, but the coach seems squarely behind him.

Big game for AC. 2 TD snags in loss to tiger-cats from somewhere. 52-22.

I hear John Beck threw one of those TDs.

Here's the stats:



Collie: 2 catches for 29 yards and 2 TDs.



Beck: 7 of 12 for 95 yards and 1 TD. (NFL passer rating of 111.46)



PS- There's lots of unrest in BC after the beating they took this weekend; we might see more of Beck in the coming weeks.

Thanks for posting this Hawk. I like Canadian football. I'm about done with the nfl after pats cheating scandal.

Collie caught two passes for 24 yards in a loss to Montreal (Hoffman's team). Beck didn't play and Hoffman hasn't played since the game he hurt his leg (or at least he hasn't had any catches, I can't find any info on injury/recovery).

Austin Collie was second in receptions in the Lions game against Montreal with three catches for 27 yards and one TD (the receiver who caught four didn't have a score).



But the big news out of this game is that John Beck took almost all the snaps (Lulay suffered a seemingly-season-ending knee injury), completing 14 of 22 passes for 114 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 picks. Beck played well enough to get the Lions the 25-16 win over the Alouettes (With Lulay as QB last time the teams played, BC lost 23-13).

Beck played just okay last night in his first start for the Lions, going 20 of 29 for 207 yards and a TD, but with two picks in a 31-18 loss to Ottawa.



Collie had 3 catches for 27 yards and the only receiving touchdown on the team.



BC will play this Friday and you can catch all the games on ESPN3 online (some games have been on ESPN2, but I don't know how likely that will be now that real football has started).

Looks like Beck got benched after going 9-16 (56%) for 82 yards (5 yards per attempt, no TDs or picks, one lost fumble). His replacement, Jennings, then went 15-27 (55%) for 252 yards and THREE interceptions, one fumble lost, and no TDs (9 yards per attempt).



Collie had no catches.

Collie had no catches in BC's win over Saskatchewan, BUT he had a touchdown pass of 21 yards (1-1, 21 yards, 1 TD, no INT: NFL QBR of 158.33).



John Beck has announced he is retiring from football. Said he just hates how much being on the road takes him away from his family.
