Anderson is the QUFL special teams player of the week. He accounted for 19 points and matched a single-game school record with six field goals in 鲍鱼直播's 34-29 loss to Concordia last Friday. A native of Canmore, Alta., and the son of former NFL all-time scoring leader Gary Anderson, he went 6-for-8 in the Shaughnessy Cup game, connecting on distances of 46, 27, 12, 48, 18 and 42 yards. The 21-year-old finance junior equaled the 鲍鱼直播 single-game mark set by Glenn Miller in 1984 and was one short of the Quebec conference record set by Christopher Milo in 2008 for most field-goals in a non-overtime game.
