When the snow started falling just before kickoff, Keon Edwards had his backup shoes ready.
"They were right inside the door," says Edwards, who endured the elements and ran the ball for a whopping 260 yards vs Queen’s in the Yates Cup game.
"Once it snows you are going to have to run the ball a lot, and there is nothing better than cold-weather football."
Western led 13-7 at the half, but second half adjustments led to a power running attack and a 44-16 win over their rivals from Kingston in a rematch from the 2021 game.
The win was the 34th in school history, in their 44th appearance in the Ontario University Football Final.
Edwards won the Dalt White Trophy as game MVP for the second straight year.
"Keon is an every-game player," says Mustangs head coach Greg Marshall when asked if Edwards steps up in the big games.
