Default GAME 13: STAMPEDERS at Riders

Calgary Stampeders vs Saskatchewan Roughriders
Mosaic Stadium (Regina, Saskatchewan)
Sunday, September 24th @ 2:00pm
Televised: TSN, ESPN2

Stampeders (10-1-1) won their eight straight games last week vs the BC Lions will continue their winning streaks against their arch-rival Saskatchewan Roughriders. They will also continue their 15 consecutive winning streak against the Western Division opponents. Stamps have a 7-3 record against the Riders in Regina since 2010 and they are undefeated since 2014.

Riders(6-5) been hot lately and won 6 games in their last 7 games. They are now sitting in 4th place in the West ahead of the BC Lions. The last time the 2 teams met at McMahon Stadium, the Stampeders won 27-10 with McDaniel and Lemar Durant scoring a TD each. DE James Vaughters and Charleston Hughes produced a combined 5 QB sacks.

OFFENSE:

RB Jerome Messam rushed 28 times for 135 yards and 1 TD the last time they played the Riders on July 22nd. Messam is the CFL's leading rusher this season with 9 majors.
R Marken Michel was in the lineup vs the Riders in their first game had a good game last week catching 5 times for 95 yards and 1 TD catch. Michel did not record a catch on the Riders game but returned some kickoff. R Reggie Begelton playing his first game against the Riders in his CFL career also had a good game last week scoring a TD and went 4 for 50 yards last week. Offense will have to contend with the Riders ball hawk Ed Gainey, leading the CFL with 8 INTs this season. Whoever play against Gainey will have to play better.

DEFENSE:

It was a great overall game by Stamps defense last week against the BC Lions. Calgary recorded 4 QB sacks(Singleton, Davis, Johnson and Vaughters each had one sack). Hughes did not record a sack last week but he had a great game the last time they played the Riders and sacked the Riders QB 3 times. Defense also recorded 3 INTs(Evans, Thurman and Shaq) last week. Micah Johnson led the league in QB sacks.

SPECIAL TEAM:

Roy Finch did not return a punt or kickoff for a TD but he had a 66 yards punt return last week vs BC Lions. L Rene Paredes were hurt last week but he'll play tomorrow. Stamps signed David Deschamps on a practice roster in case Paredes couldn't play.

ROSTER MOVES:

LB/DB Dexter Janke and DB Adam Thibault will replace Mike Rose and RB Anthony Woodson who got hurt late last week.


GO STAMPS GO!!!!!
