Danny Brannagan of Burlington, Ont., was named the Yates Cup MVP as he led the No. 4 Queen’s Gaels to their first Yates Cup Championship since 1978. The fifth year accounting major threw for 515 yards and five touchdowns in the Gaels 43-39 win over the No. 5 Western Mustangs. Brannagan’s 515 passing yards was the fourth-highest single game total in CIS playoff history. The win sends the Gaels to the Mitchell Bowl where they will host the Quebec champions, the Laval Rouge et Or, on Saturday afternoon at Richardson Stadium.
