Tre Ford named starting quarterback for Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have named Tre Ford as their starting quarterback for their upcoming Week 12 matchup against the Toronto Argonauts at BMO Field. Ford earns the start following a strong performance in relief during the team’s 26-19 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, where he completed 13-of-17 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown.

Harrison Frost, who previously held the starting role, remains on the game-day roster in a backup capacity despite dealing with a back injury. The Tiger-Cats' roster also sees changes on defense, as Mario Kendrick Jr. has been placed on the one-game injured list due to an ankle issue.

The upcoming game marks the second meeting of the season between Hamilton and Toronto, with Hamilton having won the previous encounter 24-23. Key factors for Hamilton include Ford’s momentum, the offensive involvement of receiver Kenny Lawler, and the performance of a defense led by Reggie Stubblefield and Philip Ossai.
