401 - BRYSON BARNES COMBINED YARDS
Rookie quarterback Bryson Barnes shined in his first career start, as the 25-year-old completed 27-of-37 passes for 339 yards and two touchdowns, while adding seven carries for 62 yards on the ground.
With 30 seconds remaining, Barnes orchestrated a 67-yard drive for the win, which was capped off by a dime of a throw to wideout Ayden Eberhardt in the end zone.
The pivot looked composed, used his legs when he had to, and took care of the ball as he didn't throw an interception.
2 - DANIEL ADEBOBOYE RUSHING TOUCHDOWNS
While Ottawa's running back only mustered 17 yards on 10 carries, Canadian Daniel Adeboboye put up plenty of points.
The 27-year-old's hard running around the goal line proved to be huge for the REDBLACKS in their first win, as Adeboboye found the end zone twice against his former team.
While Barnes' passing got Ottawa up and down the field, Adeboboye capped the drives off.
101 - AYDEN EBERHARDT RECEIVING YARDS
This stat could have been Eberhardt's receiving yards, catches, or touchdowns, as the first-year REDBLACK was incredible all-around.
The 28-year-old recorded nine catches for 101 yards and two touchdowns, including a clutch catch in the end zone with six seconds remaining for the win.
