Team first puts 'Riders on top

Posted Jul 14, 2008

Darian Durant, subbing for injured Marcus Crandell, went out and threw for 347 yards and two touchdowns against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday in an eye-opening debut as a CFL starter. His performance included included driving his team down the field in the final minute for a 33-28 win. It was a performance that every bit lived up to the motto tattooed on Durant's left bicep: “Against all odds I'm gonna shine.” (Globe Sports)
