Hamilton Tiger-Cats starter Jeremiah Masoli will not start the team's second and final pre-season game against the Montreal Alouettes Saturday.

Ticats head coach June Jones made the announcement Monday and while he didn't name a starter in Masoli's place, he said that Johnny Manziel, Vernon Adams, and Bryant Moniz will all play behind centre.

Manziel was impressive in his CFL debut during the Ticats' pre-season opener against the Toronto Argonauts, finishing 9-11 for 80 yards while adding another 10 yards rushing.

"I felt like I was able to get in there and handle the situation well, get some completions and get the guys some balls," Manziel said. "I really wasn't nervous going into it, I was just kind of going out and letting the ball rip.

"Right now we're still in pre-season so we'll get a little bit more tailor-made for the team and defence and what they do and scheme against them. I think that'll help us moving forward."

Masoli started the game and went 8-13 for 115 yards and a touchdown but threw two interceptions as the Tiger-Cats fell 36-18 to the Toronto Argonauts.

Hamilton will begin the regular season on June 16 against the Calgary Stampeders.
