UPDATE: With 5:06 left to play in the 4th quarter, TC led the Ticats to the Montreal 20. The drive ended with a field goal. Hamilton 20, Montreal 26. Timmy is 3 of 6 for 92 yards and a touchdown.

UPDATE 2: In a do-or-die situation, on 3rd down deep in their own territory, Chang overshoots his receiver. He ends up 4 of 11 for 92 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed once for five yards. I'll link to news stories later on. Looks like the QB situation will still be unresolved going into the next game.

UPDATE 3: Here's a game wrap-up from the Ticats website.

UPDATE 4: Some analysis of the game.

But we’re suggesting — make that urging — Taaffe to go to Chang much earlier if Maas isn’t putting the points up at B.C. Place Thursday night. Even for a series or two. Judging from their pleasant, ‘Way to go Jason, Way to go Timmy’ exchange after the game, the two can handle that kind of situation.

Nobody wants to see Chang force-fed into the kind of deer-in-the-headlights problem Anthony Calvillo endured here a decade ago, but given the way Maas attacked his job more forcefully Saturday night, the Chang’s challenge seems to have a positive impact on the incumbent. Keep up the pressure.

And a couple of quotes from Timmy:

“I wanted to make the most of it and complete the Cinderella story, 16 points down, the fourth quarter comeback and all that, but we came up short,” said an unfulfilled Chang.

“Even though we’re down 0-3, I think we have a lot to look forward to. The team is young and full of energy. As coach said, there is no question about the effort out there, but it’s the mental things and we need to put everything together, all 12 guys working in unison and everybody on the same page,” he added.
