Hampton's McDaniel has breakout game in Hamilton Ti-Cats win

Hamilton, Ontario Canada - Hamilton Tiger-Cats head coach Marcel Bellefeuille spent 30 minutes this week talking to his players about pressure. Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Greg Marshall may be asking for a copy of that speech.

The Ticats dominated the Roughriders 33-3 on Saturday in front of 22,245 fans at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Hamilton improves to 1-2, while Saskatchewan falls to 0-3. It is first time the Roughriders have opened a Canadian Football League season with three consecutive losses since 2000, when they finished 5-12-1.

"We got our . hats handed to us," Marshall said. "I told the guys at halftime (that), if they weren't embarrassed by their performance in the first half, then they were in the wrong business. We have to do a better job of coaching, and they have to do a better job of playing." Hamilton led 23-0 at the break and did not let up.
