QB Harris ready to shoulder offensive load for Redblacks as ‘the guy’
OTTAWA — Trevor Harris won’t call the Redblacks his team, but much of Ottawa’s success or failure this season will fall at his feet.
The 30-year-old Harris will be a starting quarterback for the first time in his professional career as Ottawa chases its second straight Grey Cup title.
Harris, who is in his second season with the Redblacks, has played a significant role for a CFL team before, but there was always a veteran pivot waiting in the wings to take over. First it was Ricky Ray in Toronto, and last season it was Henry Burris.
Now it’s all up to Harris.
