Darian Durant gets the call

Posted Jul 12, 2008

Some day, Darian Durant could throw for as many yards in a CFL game as he regularly did during his stellar U.S. college football career at the University of North Carolina. But don't expect that to happen today, when he makes his first CFL start, against the Tiger-Cats in Hamilton as the Saskatchewan Roughriders try to make it three wins in a row in defending last November's Grey Cup victory.
