Taylor helps Alouettes secure berth in Grey Cup

Nov 16, 2008 - 12:17 AM MONTREAL (Ticker) -- Larry Taylor returned a pair of punts for touchdowns as the Montreal Alouettes advanced to the Grey Cup with a 36-26 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos.

The Alouettes (12-7) will host either the BC Lions or Calgary Stampeders in the title game on November 23.

Taylor sent the Olympic Stadium crowd into a frenzy when he brought back his first punt 64 yards for a touchdown with 1:56 remaining in the first half to give the Alouettes the lead for good, 19-13. He provided more fireworks early in the fourth with a 97-yard return that made it 36-13.

Anthony Calvillo completed 20-of-32 passes for 295 yards and a touchdown for Montreal, which advanced to the Grey Cup for the sixth time since 2000. The only title during that span came in 2000 when they defeated the Eskimos.

Ricky Ray threw for 339 yards and a touchdown for the Eskimos (11-9), who were seeking their first title game appearance since 2003.
