GAME NOTES: Kevin Glenn and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will not only be looking for a sweep of the home-and-home series with Edmonton, but a measure of redemption as well. Glenn was the victim of a helmet-to-helmet hit from Edmonton linebacker Agustin Berrenechea in the fourth quarter last week's 30-23 win. Fortunately for the Bombers, Glenn wasn't seriously injured and is expected to start the rematch. Berrenechea will also play after only receiving a fine from the CFL. But as a result of the incident, the league has tightened up its policy regarding player safety. It now has the mandate to suspend players who perform any illegal act that creates a substantial and unnecessary risk of injury to an opponent. Glenn finished 18-of-26 passing for 268 yards with two touchdowns against one interception in leading Winnipeg to its third straight win. That victory, coupled with Toronto's loss to Calgary last week, moved the Blue Bombers into second in the East Division standings, two points ahead of the Argos. Fred Reid had a solid game in the Bombers' backfield. He rushed for 93 yards on 16 carries and also had a touchdown. Joe Smith added 49 yards on seven carries. Ricky Ray anchored Edmonton's offensive attack by completing 36-of-43 passes for 434 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Ray did a very nice job of spreading the ball around, hitting eight different receivers. The problem was that the Eskimos had no running game at all, rushing for just 35 yards against the Bombers defense. Stanford Samuels led the way for Winnipeg defensively with a game-high 10 tackles. Linebacker Zeke Moreno added nine tackles and a sack. Jason Armstead had four punt returns for 150 yards for Winnipeg, taking one back for a touchdown. But if there was a problem for the Bombers, it was with Alexis Serna. The rookie kicker missed all three field goals he attempted against Edmonton. The numbers: Edmonton is 5-1 at home this season but just 3-3 against East Division teams. Winnipeg is 2-4 on the road and 2-4 versus Western clubs. Keys to the game: This game is crucial for both teams, which should mean no retaliation or attempts to even the score by either club. This could very well be an East Division semifinal preview. If Edmonton remains fourth in the West it will cross over into the other division and assume the No. 3 playoff seed and face the second-place finisher, which right now is Winnipeg. The Bombers could pretty well clinch second with a win over Edmonton, then another victory over Toronto next week. While Edmonton has lost two straight games, it's only two points out of second and four behind first-place Calgary. But the Eskimos could really help themselves by giving the run a fair shot. When a team rushes for only 35 yards in a game, it's fooling no one. There's no denying Ray is capable of shouldering Edmonton's offensive attack, but giving him other options could only serve to help the Green and Gold's cause. The good news for Edmonton is running back Calvin McCarty practiced with the starting offense this week and will likely start Saturday. Winnipeg is playing well right now and full warranted for its current second- place standing. Glenn's a big part of the Bombers resurgence but is also getting some nice help from Reid and to a lesser extent Smith, who are faring quite well along the ground. A reliable running game makes Glenn more dangerous because Edmonton's defense can't afford to pin its ears back and only get after the quarterback. To earn the sweep, the Bombers will have to continue doing what's been successful for them, which is playing tough defense and as close to error-free football on offense.
