Andrew Harris ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers extended their win streak to six games with a 30-3 rout of the Edmonton Elks on Friday.
It was the 27th time in his 11-year career that the Winnipeg-born Harris has rushed for more than 100 yards in a game. He scored both his TDs in the fourth quarter.
Edmonton QB Trevor Harris, making his first start after missing two games with a neck injury, was 9 of 22 for 87 yards and no picks.
“I feel embarrassed,” Harris said after the game. “This is professional football and offensively we just did not get it done in any regard tonight.”

Harris was replaced by Taylor Cornelius about three minutes into the fourth quarter, who went 6 of 13 for 47 yards and one interception.
“We needed a spark,” Head Coach Jamie Elizondo said. “We we’re missing some throws. We had some things that we felt we should have hit, that we weren’t executing.”

Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 207 yards with one 16-yard TD toss to Nic Demski and one interception.
Winnipeg has now won 16 of its past 17 games at IG Field, with 27,388 fans taking in Friday’s game.
The Bombers boosted their CFL-leading record to 8-1, while the Elks suffered their fourth straight loss and fell to 2-6.
Both teams will go back at it on Oct. 15, at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.
