VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions face off against the Calgary Stampeders in the Western semifinal today.

The Lions (12-6) have a sterling home record while the Stampeders have struggled away from McMahon Stadium.

B.C. will be led by quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. who is playing in his second playoff game as a starter.

Lions head coach Rick Campbell said he expects his veteran players to step up and use their playoff experience to advance to next week’s division final in Winnipeg.

Stampeders (6-12) head coach Dave Dickenson says his team isn’t overconfident heading into the post-season.
