Overview
- Rookie quarterback Pepe Gonzalez threw three touchdown passes and surpassed 340 passing yards, earning game MVP honors for Montreal.
- A late first‑half sequence drew scrutiny when an illegal forward pass flag on Gonzalez was picked up, and the drive ended with a Carabins field goal for a 15-11 halftime lead.
- Saskatchewan’s Jake Farrell, starting in place of ill starter Anton Amundrud, went 20-for-31 for 229 yards with two interceptions and three sacks and no touchdowns.
- The loss extends the Huskies’ Vanier Cup drought since 1998 and marks their seventh straight defeat in the championship game.
- The victory is Montreal’s second national title in three years and the fourth consecutive Vanier Cup won by a Quebec-based program, as several Huskies fifth‑year standouts concluded their U Sports careers.
