EDMONTON -- Their offensive output was awfully watered down to start the game, but the B.C. Lions found a way to fight through it. Quarterback Travis Lulay passed for a pair of third-quarter touchdowns as the Lions came away with a 17-3 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos on a rain-soaked Saturday night. The Lions, who trailed 3-1 at the half, won their second game in a row to improve to 2-1. "We just slugged it out and stayed patient," Lulay said. "We had two well-executed drives in the third quarter, and that was the difference. It wasnt easy in those conditions. The first half was just ugly. It was tough to get things going. Its easy to get frustrated after a one-point half. But we stuck to it and showed a lot of will. The defence played lights out. It was a good character win, especially on the road." Lions receiver Andrew Harris, who scored B.C.s second touchdown, said the heavy thunderstorm was a hard thing to overcome. "It was a monsoon out there," he said. "It was tough to focus on what was going on in the game because you were so worried about ball security and trying to stay dry. We just stuck at it. Were a mature team and we kept composed. It was just about executing when the opportunities were there." The Eskimos (1-2) sit four points behind the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFLs West Division. "It felt like things were going pretty positive in the first half, but we lost our edge in the second half," said Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly, who served as Lulays backup in B.C. last season. "We still have a lot to work on. When you lose like this, you have a lot of tape of things to work on." There was a very slow start to the game as both teams struggled to gain any ground during a torrential downpour rivalling the intensity of the storm that plagued the Eskimos game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Guelph, Ont., last weekend. Edmonton finally got on the board with four minutes to play in the opening quarter on a 32-yard field goal by Grant Shaw. It took another full quarter for another play of note to occur as the rain continued unabated throughout the first half. The Eskimos Rennie Curran was able to block a Hugh ONeill punt with four minutes left in the second frame and Edmonton took over on downs at the B.C. 32-yard line. However, holder Kerry Joseph had the ball slip through his hands on the resulting field goal snap and it remained a 3-0 game. The Lions put together their best drive to that point in the game in the final couple minutes of the first half, setting up a 31-yard field goal attempt by ONeill. The wet weather would strike again, though, as the snap was bobbled and ONeill was forced to punt it into the end zone for a single to make it seem more like a hockey score at 3-1 before both teams gratefully scurried into the dressing rooms at the half. Edmonton had just four first downs and 71 yards in net offence in the first half, while B.C. had five first downs and 99 yards net. Even though the downpour continued, the Lions put up the first significant points of the match just under five minutes into the third quarter as Lulay hit Emmanuel Arceneaux for a 12-yard touchdown pass to surge ahead 8-3. B.C. continued to take control of the game with another TD drive that was capped off when Eskimo defenders T.J Hill and Joe Burnett collided, allowing Harris to take a Lulay pass 16 yards into the end zone for a 15-3 advantage. The rain let up significantly for the start of the fourth quarter, but the offence dried up again as well. The only scoring in the final frame came when Edmonton conceded a safety with five minutes left. The two teams will meet again next Saturday in Vancouver.

LOUIS -- Just like last year, from the beginning of training camp the St. Louis Rams have been preparing two high draft picks to start on defence. Theyre hoping to get similar production from this years duo. "I feel confident I can do it, and it feels good to know they feel the same way," free safety T.J. McDonald said after practice Tuesday night. "Not every play is perfect, but one thing I can control is my hustle. "I give my all every play, and if I dont do everything perfect at least it looks good." Outside linebacker Alec Ogletree was the second of the Rams first-round picks after a productive career at Georgia. McDonald was taken in the third round out of USC. "Theyre both very instinctive players, and theyre intelligent, and theyre studying," coach Jeff Fisher said. "Neither one of them is struggling whatsoever in the system and the scheme. Theyre going to be impact players for us." Both are atop the unofficial depth chart and about to get their first real test in the preseason opener Thursday night at Cleveland. "Its very exciting, to be on this stage," Ogletree said. "Its something Ive wanted to do all my life and Im looking forward to being out there." McDonald was fired up about the practice in the Edward Jones Dome over the weekend, but knows he needs to harness the adrenaline. "Its happening now," McDonald said. "Im going to let my preparation in camp, everything theyve taught me, let that guide me through it. "Ill try not to get too emotionally involved, but Im definitely going to soak it in." Fisher overhauled the defence his first season with six new starters including tackle Miichael Brockers and cornerback Janoris Jenkins.ddddddddddddBoth were named to Pro Football Weeklys all-rookie team. The Rams tied for the NFL lead with 52 sacks last season, and veteran leaders believe they have the potential to be a top 10 defence. The youth movement has been fueled by a surplus of first-rounders from the trade that sent the No. 2 pick in the 2012 draft to Washington, which the Redskins used to select Robert Griffin III. Will Witherspoon provides insurance at linebacker in his second go-around with the Rams. He also can help mentor the 21-year-old Ogletree, who was first-team All-SEC last year and has the speed to go sideline to sideline. The Rams are replacing both safeties from last season. Holdover Darian Stewart, who was second on the team in tackles in 2011, is the likely starter at strong safety. Brockers was a first-rounder last year and had a strong finish after missing the first month with a high ankle sprain, finishing with four sacks. Jenkins was a second-rounder last year and made a dazzling debut with three interception returns for touchdowns and a fourth score on a punt return. Fisher said Daryl Richardson has the inside track on the running back job after a productive rookie year as Steven Jacksons backup. Isaiah Pead, a second-rounder last year who played little as a rookie, and fifth-round pick Zac Stacy are also in the mix. Players had to handle the heat for the first time in perhaps a couple weeks, with a high temperature of 89 degrees at practice. It had been unseasonably cool with temperatures in the 70s. "They did fine," Fisher said. "Obviously theyre in good shape and I thought they handled the heat pretty well." ' ' '
