Late touchdown by rookie running back Eri Olarubofin lifts visitors to victory in varsity's Battle of Alberta

EDMONTON — Rookie running back Eri Olarubofin racked up a career-high 155 yards on just 17 carries and scored his first career touchdown with just 52 seconds remaining to help lead the Calgary Dinos to a 23-19 win over Alberta from Foote Field on Friday evening.

Missing veteran running back Matthieu Clarke in this one, the Dinos’ offensive line was big in helping create big holes for Olarubofin and fellow first year Jibreel Yahaya, who toted the ball just six times for an impressive 58 yards in his first career game. In all, the Dinos ran the ball 24 times for 215 yards in this one, with both touchdowns coming from the powerful ground game.

With the win, Calgary improves to 2-1
