VANCOUVER - Quarterback Travis Lulay threw four touchdown passes, three of them to running back Andrew Harris, as the B.C. Lions shredded the Montreal Alouettes 43-1 Saturday night to claim first place in the CFL West.
The Lions, who started the season a miserable 0-5, won 10 of their last 11 games and will host the West Final for the first time since 2007. This year's Grey Cup will be played in Vancouver on Nov. 27.
The Alouettes saw their hopes of finishing first in the East chewed up by a snarling Lions defence.
Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo was sacked four times, twice by defensive end Brent Johnson. When Calvillo managed to find a receiver it often was for little or no gain.
Lulay took a hit early in the fourth quarter and limped off the field favouring his left knee. The Lions said he had suffered a charley horse.
Lulay completed 19-of-30 passes for 280 yards and one interception. He also had 51 yards rushing on three carries.
