The Saskatchewan Roughriders will look to report their first win in Montreal since 2021 after they go to the Alouettes on Saturday evening.
Let’s rewind almost 4 years to when Saskatchewan final emerged victorious in Montreal. For starters, present Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris was below middle for the Alouettes in that sport.
Much more lately, Harris accomplished 25 of 33 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns in Saskatchewan’s 21-18 victory over the Edmonton Elks final week. The Elks erupted for 14 unanswered factors within the fourth quarter to provide the Roughriders (6-1) one thing to consider this week.
“It is simply extra of a mindset factor to ensure we’re staying aggressive,” Harris stated, per the Regina Chief Put up. “Staying foot on the pedal as a result of if you happen to’re up 21-4 within the fourth quarter, you should not let a staff get to 21-18.
“It is your job as an offense to remain on the sector and put extra factors on the board and prolong the lead, in order that the sport does not come all the way down to needing a game-winning sack or needing an amazing punt.”
Harris’ 11 passing touchdowns path solely Hamilton’s Bo Levi Mitchell (15) for the highest mark within the CFL.
The Roughriders’ KeeSean Johnson has reeled in 39 receptions this season, third greatest within the CFL. He has totaled a minimum of 4 catches in every sport.
Montreal (5-2) notched its second straight win with a 23-21 determination final week over the Calgary Stampeders. McLeod Bethel-Thompson stepped up instead of the injured Davis Alexander and accomplished 30 of 40 passes for 280 yards and a landing for the Alouettes.
“He made some massive throws on the finish,” Alouettes basic supervisor Danny Maciocia stated of Bethel-Thompson, per the Montreal Gazette. “We transformed some second downs, saved them off stability with fast throws and flip screens, and had our run sport going. We took a few pictures downfield. We saved them on their heels, and that is what we wished.”
Tyler Snead had seven receptions for 103 yards for the Alouettes.
