Photos from game 2 vs. the York University Lions at Richardson Stadium, September 10, 2005. Rebounding from game 1, Queen's toppled the York Lions 40-7. Following York's loss of outstanding RB Andre Durie on their second possession, the Queen's defense held York to a measly 25 yards rushing and 207 yards passing and only 185 net yards. Ryan Bechmanis had the one interception for Queen's while the leading tacklers were Ian Hazlett (8 solo, 4 assists), DJ Mulholland (7+3), Michael Botting (7+1) and Matt Vickers (6+1).

On the other side of the ball, in his first start, Danny Brannagan was 21 of 31 for 341 yards, 2 TD's and one INT. The Gaels rolled up 450 net yards highlighted by Player of the Game Alex Vanags' 124 yards receiving including one 87 yard strike from Brannagan plus a blocked punt, Rob Bagg's 5 receptions for 72 yards, TD catches from Scott Valberg and Chris Rogan, 51 yards rushing from Mike Giffin including 2 TD's, and an additional TD run from Dave Weese.
