Alouettes look to keep winning streak going against Lions

The Alouettes will put their two-game winning streak on the line Thursday against the BC Lions in Montreal.

The Lions are 3-5, losers of two straight, and 1-3 on the road. The Alouettes are 4-5, 2-2 at home.

Tanner Marsh is expected to get the start at quarterback for the Alouettes, according to The Canadian Press. He took over for Rakeem Cato in Montreal's 26-23 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last Thursday.

Marsh last started two years ago.

"When you start a game you go through more emotions because you have the whole game," he said. "It's all on you from the get-go."

Montreal won the first meeting between the clubs 23-13 on Aug. 20.
