Ryan Dinwiddie Given the Reins for Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Ryan Dinwiddie is the starting quarterback—for now—of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Incumbent QB Kevin Glenn has been the starter for the Bombers since 2004, but has the team off to a sad start this season with a record of 0-4, throwing only two TDs against eight INTs.

Dinwiddie will get his first start this Thursday against Calgary and will direct the offense (or "offence" as those wacky Canucks spell it) indefinitely.

Ironically, Dinwiddie has thrown two touchdowns against eight INTs in his backup tenure with the Bombers. His only previous start was in last year's Grey Cup (CFL Super Bowl)—a game that the Bombers ultimately lost 23-19.

"I woke up today, and I was excited," Dinwiddie told the Winnipeg Sun. "Any time you're the starting quarterback, you're a lot more enthused to go out there, so I'm excited for the opportunity to go out there and play well."

We're excited for you too, Ryan. Make the most of the opportunity.  TSN link
