Trivia
Both starting quarterbacks ended up leaving the game. The
Sonny Wade won his second Grey Cup Most Valuable Player award (offence) while completing only 10 of 25 passes for 139 yards. Junior Ah You won the award on defence. This was the first year two separate Most Valuable Player awards were given out, one on offence, one on defence; this would be the case until 1990.
Edmonton and Montreal have met in 11 Grey Cup clashes. The Eskimos prevailed in 1954, 1955, 1956, 1975, 1978, 1979, 2003 and 2005's overtime thriller. The Alouettes were victorious in 1974, the Ice Bowl of 1977, and 2002.
This was the last Grey Cup game played at Empire Stadium; the next time Vancouver hosted a Grey Cup game nine years later in 1983, it would be indoors at the new BC Place Stadium.
