Ottawa QB Harris looks to prove critics wrong when Redblacks host Ticats in East final
OTTAWA — Win or lose, Trevor Harris knows he won’t be able to quiet his critics.
The Ottawa quarterback has struggled to earn respect as a big-game player, even though he has only has one playoff start to his name. He’ll get another chance to prove he can win in the playoffs when the Redblacks set to face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the East Division final Sunday afternoon at TD Place, though he expects even a trip to the Grey Cup won’t stop the questions from coming.
“After the game sometimes it’s one of those things where you say, ‘I wonder what they’re going to say now?’” Harris said Wednesday. “You know there’s always a next step. If we win this one, it will be can he win the Grey Cup? If you win the Grey Cup, can he do it twice?
“It’s always going to be something to answer and that’s great, that’s the beauty of sports and that’s why you play sports, but to say that it drives me would be a lie.”
