As he prepares for a critical Week 12 matchup with the Ottawa Redblacks, Edmonton Elks’ head coach Chris Jones is seeing shades of a familiar face in his opponent’s young quarterback. Since taking over the Redblacks’ offence in Week 5, rookie Dustin Crum has become a sensation. “You look at him and that’s what I told the defence today, that guy, he runs extremely well,” Jones told the Edmonton media earlier this week. However, he was also a reliable threat on the ground, running for 3,566 yards and 56 rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, Edmonton finally recorded a victory last week thanks to their own young quarterback, Canadian Tre Ford.
