Western defeats Saskatchewan to win 2021 Vanier Cup

In the last play of the third quarter, its Campbell again. He caught the ball and took it untouched on the screen pass for the touchdown, which would put the game away and give Western a cushion.
They'd never look back and go onto win the Vanier Cup Championship 27-21.
Quarterback Evan Hillock won the MVP Trophy, as Western takes its second Canadian University Football Title in the past four seasons, and 8th in school history.
