After a rough start to the season during which they dropped three of their first five games, the Alouettes (5-3) are undefeated in August, riding a three-game winning streak. That run has helped them rise to the top of the East Division and second in the CFL overall. "Over the last three weeks weve had (Brian) Bratton, (Jamel) Richardson, (Brandon) London and (Brandon) Whitaker all out but the team has taken it upon itself to step up," Alouettes coach Marc Trestman said. "The guys who have replaced them have done a good job, picked it up and everybody else has done their job. Defensively, its the same thing." One in particular has been wide receiver S.J. Green, who after struggling with consistency earlier in the season, has become Anthony Calvillos go-to guy of late. The 27-year-old earned player of the week honours after a game-high 10 catches -- for a second week in a row -- and career-best 168 yards against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He now leads the CFL in pass receiving with 737 yards on 45 catches. "Just my mental mindset. Just knowing the situation, the games and what had to be done," Green explained of whats changed. "We needed a win (last week) and I knew I wanted to pull my end of the deal and play my best game for my teammates. Thats all Ive been doing lately, trying to put my best foot forward." A large part of his success has been fuelled by Calvillos continued stellar play, efforts that saw the Alouettes quarterback named the CFLs Offensive Player of the Month for August. The 40-year-old completed 64 of 97 passes this month for 1,024 yards, threw for seven touchdowns and was intercepted just twice. "Coming out of the bye week, Anthony looked scary in that game against Edmonton, and the same thing last week against Hamilton," said Lions coach Mike Benevides. "When you take a look at it, you cant shut them out. You try to minimize the long play and really try to give yourself a chance to win the game at the end. Looking at the size and explosion of their receivers, you just try to minimize what they do." The Lions (6-2) sit atop the CFL standings, largely due to a strong defence that leads the league in nearly every category. Theyve allowed just 141 points against -- 101 fewer than the Alouettes -- and given up just nine touchdowns (six passing, three rushing). Heading into this week, they are the only team in the league to keep opponents below 300 average offensive yards per game (281.3). "They are very smart. Their eyes are on the quarterback, they drive to the ball, theyre physical, and they give you all you can handle," Trestman said. "They have very good players and they have a very good structure and scheme. Thats a tough act to crack and not many have been able to do it up until now. Were going to give it our best shot." Its a turnaround from the first half of last season, when B.C. stumbled to an 0-5 start. This year, the Lions won their first two games, then dropped their next two. Since then, theyve reeled off four straight, during which theyve allowed just one touchdown. "A big part of it is just a belief system that we can win football games. Theres always going to be good and bad in a football game but when youve learned how to win a lot of those games, you know how to overcome the bad that comes up," Lions quarterback Travis Lulay said. While B.C. has been dominant on defence, it has been less so on offence. After scoring more than 30 points in their first two games of the season, the Lions have reached the mark just once since. They sit fourth in the CFL with 202 points and sixth in team passing. They know it wont be easy against an improving Alouettes defence. "Youve really started to see their defence play fast and hard, and play good defensive football the last few weeks. We know well have our work cut out for us," Lulay said. "At the same time, were coming on four wins. "Its always tough coming here to play these guys and to play a team thats playing good football. Its always a challenge to withstand that initial surge of energy and emotion when youre on the road but youve got to do that and settle into the game." Despite the Lions tamer statistics on the pass, they have been better on the ground, aided by Lulays ability to call his own number. The 28-year-old sits ninth in the CFL with 302 rushing yards on 43 carries. "Any time you have a quarterback who can run and extend plays, it hurts you at times so we just have to contain him and just stay focused and really be aware of where he is at all times," said Alouettes defensive back Jerald Brown. Alouettes receiver Jamel Richardson, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, is questionable to return against the Lions. cheap jerseys from china .

These Blue Devils showed they also can win rather easily when they spread the scoring around. Duke routed Elon 86-48 on Tuesday despite not producing a 20-point scorer for the first time this season. Andre Dawkins scored 15 points, Rodney Hood had 13 points and freshman Jabari Parker had 12 points and a season-high-tying 10 rebounds for Duke (11-2). "We didnt know who was scoring," Dawkins said. "We just knew we were putting points up." The Blue Devils never trailed and had little trouble winning their fifth straight, shooting 48.5 per cent, forcing 22 turnovers and turning them into 25 points. "We just wanted to get into their legs," Hood said. "We wanted to contest them, make them take tough shots the whole night and we did that, and I could see the frustration on their face. They got a little tired (and) it was because of our defensive pressure." At least one Blue Devil reached the 20-point mark in each of their previous 12 games -- and in 10 of them, it was Parker. But they had little need to put the scoring burden on any one player in this one. "It was one of those days where everybody played hard and well, and they embraced playing defence," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. Elons 48 points were a season-low allowed by Duke, and at no point in the game did the Phoenix (7-7) have more field goals than turnovers. "We were beaten in every situation," Elon coach Matt Matheny said. Ryley Beaumont and Lucas Troutman scored 11 points each for the Phoenix, who shot 35 per cent and fell to 1-26 against ACC opponents since their 1999 move to Division I. Dawkins set season highs with 20 points and six 3-pointers three days earlier against Eastern Michigan. He finished this one with five 3s -- including four during the first-half run that gave Duke an insurmountable lead. Rasheed Sulaimon and Quinn Cook each had 11 points for the Blue Devils, who can finally focus on conference play.

Hood -- a 17.6-point scorer -- was 4 of 12 in this one after managing just eight points against Eastern Michigan while playing through an illness. But the Blue Devils didnt need much from him to end a two-game losing streak at the Greensboro Coliseum -- where theyve won seven ACC tournaments under Krzyzewski and in a few months will go for their eighth. Dawkins wasnt around for the last loss -- an 83-74 clunker in the quarterfinals of last years ACC tournament -- because he spent last season away from the team for personal reasons. But he certainly shot better than he did in his last visit here -- Dukes stunning loss to 15th-seeded Lehigh in the 2012 NCAA tournament, in which Dawkins missed seven of his nine attempts. He turned the decisive run in this one into a personal game of around the horn, hitting 3s from the corner, wing and key during the 22-7 run that effectively ended this one at halftime. "When the first one goes in, thats when its kind of, Lets see how far this can go," Dawkins said. "Its easy when youve got teammates that are always looking for you, setting screens for you, things like that. All Ive got to do is catch the ball and shoot it." His 3 from the right corner off an inbounds pass capped the burst and made it 26-9 with 7 1/2 minutes before the break. "Dawkins 3s are daggers," Matheny said. Pointing out the Duke guards knack for swishes, he added: "I dont know if hes even touched the rim." Cook gave Duke its first 20-point lead when his 3 from the corner made it 33-11 with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the half. The Blue Devils then reeled off the first eight points of the second half and went up by 30 on Sulaimons 3 with 11 minutes left. Since making the Division I jump, the Phoenix have yet to finish closer than 22 points against Duke. "They knocked us down," Matheny said, "and we didnt get up quickly enough." ' ' '
