Marc-Antoine Dequoy has a lot to say about Davis Alexander

The return of Davis Alexander at quarterback for the Montreal Alouettes breathed new life into the team on Friday night.

Players and fans immediately felt the energy brought by their leader, absent since July 17. Alexander completed 26 of 36 passes for 350 yards and a touchdown, averaging an impressive 9.7 yards per attempt, with a high of 46 yards.

Québécois marauder Marc-Antoine Dequoy made no secret of his admiration:

“Having Davis back gives you energy and he proved today why he's our number 1 quarterback. He's our guy and what a performance, it's incredible.”

Teammates even mimicked their pivot by wearing his camisole at Percival-Molson Stadium, showing their full support.

Alexander, 26, stressed that he didn't feel the need to play superhero:

“It helps to have the lead and the best defense in the league. I didn't feel I had to do more than my role.

With a simple but effective performance, he guided the team to a 38-20 victory over the Calgary Stampeders, confirming the importance of his presence on the field.

A historic comeback for Davis Alexander

In nine CFL starts, Alexander remains undefeated, setting a record by surpassing Danny McManus for the most victories at the start of a Canadian Football League career.

Head coach Jason Maas said proudly:

“He gives us prospects, faith. He competes like the devil in holy water and he makes others better.”

The other players also shone, notably linebacker Tyrice Beverette, author of an interception on former Alouettes quarterback Vernon Adams Jr.

According to him, the team delivered its most complete game of the season, with a solid performance from the offense, defense and special units.

Alexander and his teammates show that the return of the American quarterback is a real driving force for the Alouettes and a key factor for the season's upcoming games.
