Calvillo's big day helps Alouettes win matchup of unbeatens

Jul 18, 2009 - 11:17 PM Anthony Calvillo moved into a tie for second place on the career list with his 333rd touchdown pass, sparking a big second half for the Montreal Alouettes as they beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 43-10 on Saturday.

These teams had been the only two in the league yet to lose, but Montreal (3-0) turned the game into a rout by outscoring Saskatchewan 29-2 in the second half.

That outburst began with Calvillo's 55-yard strike to Kerry Watkins 3:52 into the third quarter, his second TD pass of the game that tied him with Ron Lancaster for second all-time. Damon Allen owns the record with 394.

Calvillo was 24 of 34 for 281 yards without an interception and Avon Cobourne ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

The only points the Roughriders (2-1) managed in the second half were on a safety, and their eight first-half points came off three of Montreal's four turnovers. They were held to 192 total yards and committed six turnovers.

Saskatchewan's Darian Durant was 10 of 20 for 112 yards and an interception before being benched in the fourth. Wes Cates scored the team's lone touchdown in his season debut but was held to 34 yards on nine carries.

Kerry Carter caught Calvillo's first-half touchdown pass, and Damon Duval contributed four field goals, four converts and three singles.
