Alfieri: Matt Shiltz may or may not be the answer, but let’s find out

There weren’t too many positives to take out of the Alouettes embarrassing 59-11 loss in Calgary on Friday, but there were a few.
The most notable glimmer of hope came in the form of quarterback Matt Shiltz, who made his CFL debut in the second half of the game. Many will point to the fact that Shiltz’s snaps came in garbage time, which is true, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t impressive when he took over for an ineffective Drew Willy.
The rookie pivot finished the game 8/10 with 75 yards passing, no touchdowns and no interceptions.
