McGill beats Bishop's 38-7
Gaiters drop to a 0-3 record
Sept. 18
, 2004

At Montreal, sophomore Matt Connell ran for a pair of touchdowns and threw for two more as McGill dumped Bishop's 38-7 at Molson Stadium.

Connell, in just his third career start, completed 13 of 22 pass attempts for 163 yards and no interceptions as McGill generated 405 net yards, compared to 205 by the Gaiters. The native of St. Albert, Alta. also rushed for 35 yards on five carries as McGill defeated the Gaiters for the seventh straight game, dating back to 2001.

Connell opened the scoring with a two-yard run at 2:44 of the first quarter and made it 24-7 on a one-yard sneak at 10:14 of the third stanza, before giving way to senior Philippe Cantin. His two passing majors went to Christian McGuire and Robert LeBlanc.

The lone Bishop's touchdown was scored by freshman quarterback Kyle Williams, whose 14-yard run tied the score in the seventh minute of play. Williams, who rushed for 17 yards on nine carries, had a frustrating day in the air, completing just 13 of 30 attempts for 122 yards and one interception.

McGill (2-1) travels to Sherbrooke (1-2) next Saturday. Bishop's (0-3) plays host to Mount Allison (0-2) in the Bishop's Homecoming game.
