BC @ SASKATCHEWAN

?‍?Marks the return of Area 51's brother with BC (Ricky Foley)

Ian Hamilton- When the Roughriders fall behind, they tend to abandon the running game and opponents then can get after quarterback Kevin Glenn.

Kevin Glenn starts. Glenn had his lowest output of the regular season in that loss — he threw for 186 yards, albeit with a completion percentage of 70.4 — but he was under duress for much of the game thanks to the Lions’ defensive line.

?‍? Jonathon Jennings starts for BC

I. Hamilton- The Riders are not getting to opposing quarterbacks enough. Rookie Tobi Antigha is second to Jefferson with two sacks and Antigha and A.C. Leonard are tied for second with six pressures apiece. Saskatchewan entered Week 8 ranked seventh in the league with 11 sacks and ninth in the CFL with 31 pressures.

?‍? Dan Clark out at centre. LaBatte fills in, with T Dennis moving to guard, and Bruce (better late than never) Campbell comes off the reserve list to play tackle. This alone should be worth a look.

?‍? BC, who easily beat Sask. last week, relied on 5 FG attempts...with 4 being made.

By The Numbers

3 – Touchdowns for Duron Carter in the Riders past two games.

4 – Minimum catches that Riders receiver Bakari Grant has made each game. He is only one of three players (Winnipeg’s Darvin Adams and Toronto’s Anthony Coombs) that has four of more catches in every game this season.

10 – Number of rushing touchdowns that Travis Lulay and Jeremiah Johnson have combined for this season. They have five touchdowns apiece.

51 – League leading tackles for Solomon Elimimian heading into Week 8.

?‍? The Riders have played well at home so far this year (2-1). Can they prevail today? I doubt it.

71% of polled fans say Lions win.

6/7 CFL writers say Lions win.

    I feel like the answer is pretty much always cheer against the Riders.

    Can't we all just get along? Isn't there something we can agree on, like the Riders suck? Wouldn't it be terrible being from Saskachewan? Why do the Riders have the ugliest cheerleaders in the league?

same as last week, bombers put themselves in a good position regardless of who wins tonight. Damn it feels good that we don`t have to rely on others mistakes to benefit our own destiny.

And like last week I hope the lions embarrass the sweet piss out of the riders and sends their fans into an even deeper bout of depression as their season swirls in the toilet

I've heard they've moved Derek Dennis to guard. Is that true? Next move, off the roster. I hate the Riders more than the Lions. So, any day the Riders lose is a good day. Might as well put them in major chase mode for the rest of the season thereby putting the heat on Jones. I think it's obvious there'll be 4 Western teams in the playoffs with one of them being the crossover.

the way I see it, we have 2 more games against the lions (both at IGF) that is when we will leap frog them by taking the series 2-1. For tonight putting ourselves 6 points up on the riders is more important to ensuring we get no worse then 4th in the west. Lots of football left in the season but the deeper the riders hole the better imo
