Game Recap: Golden Bears Football | | Connor Hood

Bears upset #3 ranked Huskies 26-22

Alberta starts 3-0 for first time since 2005

SASKATOON - Matthew Peterson finished with 295 all-purpose yards, highlighted by a program record 104-yard rush in the third quarter, leading the Bears to a 26-22 road win over the Saskatchewan Huskies. 

Alberta improves to 3-0 with the win on Friday night, marking their first 3-0 start since 2005. It is also the Bears first win in Saskatoon since November 6th, 2010, snapping a 10-game losing streak. The win also snapped the Huskies (2-1) 19-game home win streak, which dated back to 2018. 

Peterson's 191 rushing yards are a career high, breaking the total of 185 he set last week. His 104-yard scamper is also the second longest rush in Canada West history. 

The Bears finished with a 547-302 advantage in offensive yards in the win, marking the third-straight game they have finished with over 500 yards. 

Eli Hetlinger finished with 309 yards and two scores — one rushing, and one passing to Dakota McKay in the opening quarter. 

Alberta led 20-0 to open the ball game, before a couple late second quarter interceptions from Hetlinger, one of which was returned for a touchdown, allowed the Huskies back in the game. 

Jonathan Giustini finished with four field goals for the Bears, two of which came in a defensive second half in which the teams combined for just 14 points. 

Alberta will visit the UBC Thunderbirds next weekend, while Saskatchewan will visit the winless Calgary Dinos.
