Place Stadium in Vancouver downing big, bad Laval 41-38 in overtime, a sensational game that saw Mac blow a 23-0 halftime lead and kicker Tyler Crapigna miss a game winning field goal at the end of regulation — only to redeem himself with the overtime winner

Quinlan’s spectacular day — 482 yards on 36 of 55 passing, two touchdowns and another 106 yards rushing — was simply too much for the heavily-favoured Rouge et Or, who were denied a record-setting sixth CIS title. Quinlan’s passing yardage was the second highest in Vanier Cup history.

Here’s how it happened.

McMaster got the game’s first turnover when linebacker Aram Eisho stripped Laval running back Sebastien Levesque and Ryan Chmielewski jumped on the loose ball. Quinlan then put together an eight-play, 58-yard drive that almost ended with a major but Quinlan overthrew Bradley Fochesato at the goal line. Instead, Tyler Crapigna settled for a 26-yard field goal and with just over seven minutes to play in the first quarter, Mac led 3-0.

The Marauders used a little special teams trickery to set up their next score, a 14-yard pass from punter Marshall Ferguson to Ben O’Connor setting Mac up at the Laval 36 yard line. Three plays later Crapigna booted it through from 37 and extended the lead to six.

Mac got their second turnover of the first frame when Michael Daly intercepted Laval quarterback Bruno Prudhomme and this time the Marauders cashed in. Quinlan orchestrating a six-play, 60 yard drive that included him hurdling a Laval defender on an 11-yard run. He finished it with a three-yard pass to Matt Peressini and gave Mac a 13-0 lead early in the second stanza.
