CALGARY - Calgary Stampeders quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell may be light on CFL playoff experience, but head coach John Hufnagel is confident his starters regular-season form will continue into Sundays West Division final against Edmonton.Mitchell is 15-2 in career starts, including a 12-2 record this season. The 24-year-old from Katy, Texas, was one of three different starters Calgary employed last season. Mitchell beat out Drew Tate in training camp this year to earn the No. 1 designation.But Mitchell hasnt had the opportunity to start a post-season game until now. He came in and completed one of three pass attempts for six yards in last years 35-13 loss in the division final to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.He saw more post-season action in 2012, when he was 6-for-9 in passing for 80 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown throw in a Grey Cup loss to Toronto. He also scored a touchdown on a one-yard plunge and threw a 42-yard pass in the West final.I dont think the game will be too big for Bo, Hufnagel said Monday at McMahon Stadium. Any time you get playoff experience, it helps. Bo has managed the game every time hes been on the field.He can forget about a bad play and get back on the field and make something good happen. We call it re-loading and he does it very well.Calgary (15-3) and Edmonton (12-6) meet at McMahon in an all-Alberta division final for the first time since 2001, when the Stampeders won 34-16 en route to claiming the Grey Cup. The Stampeders and Eskimos last met in the post-season in the 2011 division semifinal, which the Eskimos won 33-19 at home.Calgary last hoisted the Grey Cup in 2008, while Edmontons most recent appearance and victory in the CFLs championship game was in 2005.Sundays winner advances to the Grey Cup on Nov. 30 in Vancouver to face the victor of the East Division final between Montreal and Hamilton.How Mitchell will fare in his first playoff start is one of the West finals subplots. The mobility of Eskimos counterpart Mike Reilly, who reports say has a broken foot, is another.Edmonton head coach Chris Jones, Hufnagels defensive co-ordinator from 2008 to 2011, has said Reilly will get the ball in Calgary.Reilly didnt play in Edmontons final regular-season game, and he stayed on the sidelines of Sundays 18-10 division semifinal win over Saskatchewan until six minutes into the third quarter.He then completed six of eight passes for 53 yards in relief of starter Matt Nichols.He didnt do much as far as running, Hufnagel observed. Whether that has any factor with his health or whether thats just how the game was, he didnt look any differently to me as far as what he was able to do on the field.I believe hell be the starting quarterback and be Mike Reilly.The Stampeders swept the season series 3-0 with wins of 41-34 on Sept. 6, 28-13 on Sept. 1 and 26-22 on July 24.Its been quite a while since we played them, Reilly told reporters Sunday in Edmonton.Were a different team at this stage of the game and so are they. Theyre still a very good football team, so we definitely need to figure out ways we can attack them. We want to put up more points than 18, thats for sure.Mitchell should have more offensive weapons with the return of receiver Maurice Price and CFL rushing leader Jon Cornish to the lineup. Both men were following concussion protocol when they sat out the regular-season finale.Hufnagel said he was optimistic that defensive end Charleston Hughes, the CFLs defensive player of the year in 2013, would return for the division final after missing seven games with a leg injury.Calgary and Edmonton rank first and second in the CFL in average rushing yards per game at 143.9 and 129.4 respectively. John White led the Esks in rushing with 852 yards to Cornishs league-leading 1,082. White ran for 134 against Saskatchewan on Sunday.The Eskimos and Stampeders are also second and third respectively in defending the rush.I believe the team that has more production on the ground will have more of a chance to succeed, Hufnagel said.I also believe the biggest factor in winning the football game is turnovers. In a playoff game, you just cant give the other team unnecessary opportunities, which a turnover does create for them.Sundays forecast for Calgary is a high of minus-3 with occasional flurries. The Stampeders practised in bitter cold during their bye last week, but the temperature will be more comfortable for their preparation this week.I believe the whole weeks going to be around zero or one or two degrees above, Hufnagel said. Hopefully the sun is shining and I dont think the wind is going to be a factor on Sunday either.It should be a great day for a football game with two very good football teams playing against each other with a lot of similarities with one goal in mind.

Now the Shockers could be in line for another leap in the national polls. Cleanthony Early scored 19 points, Ron Baker added 14 and fifth-ranked Wichita State stayed perfect with a 78-61 win over Drake. Wichita States latest win -- combined with an ugly home loss by No. 4 Villanova to Creighton during the week and No. 3 Michigan States home defeat against No. 21 Michigan on Saturday -- could put the Shockers (21-0, 8-0 MVC) in position to leapfrog both teams on Monday. Coach Gregg Marshall appeared to be stumping for his team with what seemed to be a bit of a jab at Michigan State (18-2) after the game. "Did the mighty Spartans lose again?" Marshall said as he left the podium following his postgame news conference. The Shockers will have to wait until March for Michigan State or whoever else might stand in their way at another Final Four appearance. For now, theyll have to settle for pounding on teams in the Valley. Drake was the latest to succumb to Wichita States acrobatic offence and suffocating defence. Nick Wiggins had 11 points for the visiting Shockers, who outscored Drake 28-15 to open the second half and turn a relatively close game into a rout. The Shockers have now won four straight by at least 15 points after an overtime scare at Missouri State two weeks ago. Aaron Hawley had 16 points to lead Drake (11-9, 2-6), which lost for the sixth time in seven games. "That team is extremely tough-minded," Drake coach Ray Giacoletti said. "Each possession offensively and defensively, they control their destiny. They dont splinter ever. We were not able to make them splinter." The Bulldogs had their moments against the Valleys top team, but Wichita State showed off its superior talent with a handful of game-defining plays. Baker answered a Drake 3 with a three-point play through traffic with 15:45 left, and that kicked off a pair of spurts that overwhelmed the Bulldoogs.dddddddddddd Chadrack Lufile scored inside, and Tekele Cottons floater put the Shockers ahead 52-35 with just over 13 minutes left. Early then soared through the paint to flush down an errant shot, and Wiggins three-point play capped an 11-0 run that made it 65-44. The Shockers outrebounded Drake 34-20 and held its leading scorer, Richard Carter, to six points. Its been six years since Drake caught the nations attention with a stunning surge to the Valley championship, the programs first in 37 seasons. The Bulldogs are on their third coach since that NCAA tournament run, with Giacoletti in his first season in Des Moines. Drake started the season 10-3 and whipped Evansville 94-66 in the league opener before slipping during the heart of its Valley schedule. But the Bulldogs, bolstered by a near-sellout crowd, did their best to push the Shockers early. They hit nine of their first 16 shots to stay as close as 30-26. But Baker found Cotton for a one-handed alley-oop that sent Wichita State into the break with a 37-29 lead. "I know Tekele Cotton pretty well. He can jump really high and he likes to dunk it," Baker said. "It was a really athletic play from him, which is no surprise." Cotton then opened the second half with another dunk and the Shockers were on their way to their eighth road win. The Shockers wont face a remaining schedule as tough as Michigan States or perhaps anyone else in a power league. But Marshall said his Shockers can play with anyone in the country. Wichita State next hosts Loyola and Evansville ahead of what could be its toughest test of the year, at 16-4 Indiana State on Feb. 5. "This is a very good basketball team. We dont have to apologize to anybody about our schedule," Marshall said. "Was it (former Arizona Cardinals coach) Dennis Green that says, We are what they say we are? So, were (fifth) in the country and probably moving up -- that is unless theres some elite team wants to jump us this week. I dont know who that elite team might be."
