TicketsCINCINNATI – A pair of former University of Cincinnati quarterbacks will be on opposite sidelines this Sunday in the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary.
Zach Collaros is the starting signal caller for Winnipeg while Hayden Moore is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats backup. Collaros played at UC from 2008-11 while Moore finished up just last season (2015-18).
Collaros is in his ninth year in the league and playing in his second Grey Cup after a late-season trade from Saskatchewan. He has a career-completion percentage of almost 66% (65.7), having thrown for almost 17,000 career yards (16,979) and 94 TDs.
Since joining the Blue Bombers, Collaros is 3-0 as the starter, averaging 9.2 yards per attempt with a QB rating of 109.
Moore, a rookie who signed as a free agent in May and earned the backup QB job in training camp, got his first start in Hamilton's regular-season finale, going 18-of-28 for 218 yards and four TDs against Toronto.
The two crossed paths earlier this year at a game in Hamilton when Collaros was playing for Toronto.
The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. Fans in the United States can watch on ESPN2 or the ESPN App with coverage starting at 6 p.m.
