Ten players from the Carabins football team were named to the Québec University Football League (QUFL) all-star team, representing the highest number of players from one team. One of the players is Maxime Gagnier, industrial engineering student at École Polytechnique.

Returning to the all-star the offensive lineup is the conference's new record holder for rushing yards, running back Joseph Mroué (Physical Education), with 1,046 yards in eight games. Three players from the Bleus offensive line also made the all-star team: tackle Jean-François Morin-Roberge (Arts and Sciences), and guards Woodly Jean (HEC Montréal, Business Management) and Alexandre Zara (HEC Montréal, Master's in Management). Olivier Pellerin (Industrial Relations) was the only U de M receiver named.

Named to the all-star defensive squad were end Martin Gagné, tied for first place in the country for quarterback sacks with eight; linebacker Marc Trépanier (Information Technologies); back Jean-Philippe Provencher (HEC Montréal, Administration); and safety Maxime Gagnier (Polytechnique, Industrial Engineering).
Speedster Yves Bériault (Arts and Sciences) was a unanimous choice as the league's top return specialist.

Semi-finals: Stingers vs. Carabins
Don't forget that the Carabins, currently in second place, go head-to-head for the provincial semi-final with the Concordia Stingers (third place) on Saturday, November 5, at 1 p.m. at the CEPSUM. The two teams accumulated six wins and two defeats over the regular season, during which the Carabins came out on top in the only game between the two, with a 24-21 win over Concordia during the traditional Shrine Bowl.
