WEEK 13: CALGARY STAMPEDERS vs Saskatchewan Riders
2pm MDT at Mosaic Stadium

Calgary played Saskatchewan twice in this season and won both games. The first game was on Week 4 when they played the Riders at home and won 41-38. Their 2nd game against each other Calgary came back late in the 4th quarter to beat the Riders 17-10 at Mosaic. That was the game after Calgary blew their lead late in the game against the Montreal Alouettes.

Calgary is now 7-4 and won the last 4 games. They are 2nd in the Western Conference behind the BC Lions. Saskatchewan is 5-6 in the season and they have been playing inconsistently in the past few games.

OFFENSE:

Riders coach Cory Chamblin challenged his defense and told them if Jon Cornish (who rushed for 158 yards the last game these two teams played) rush for over 100 yards, someone will lose their job on defense. Last game vs Winnipeg, Cornish only rushed for 53 yards with 2 TDs, his lowest rushing total since after the BC Lions' game. One of the reason for the low total was Hufnagel rested Cornish in the 2nd half because they are well ahead of the game. LaMarcus Coker with 5 carries for 79 rushing yards replaced Cornish on the backfield in the 2nd half. Coker had a 52-yards for a TD in the 4th quarter vs Winnipeg.

R Nik Lewis caught his 700th reception in his career the same time as he surpassed 10,000 receiving yards. Lewis just needs 3 catches to surpass former Hamilton Tiger Cats' receiver Rocky DiPietro for #10 on the CFL's all-time receptions list.

R Romby Bryant missed the last game and was replaced by rookie Maurice Price who had a good game against Winnipeg. Bryant will be back on Sunday.

Last game against the Bombers was the first time the Stamps rang up more than 500 yards of total offense in a game since Week 16 last season.

DEFENSE:

Calgary surrendered an average if 17.1 points per game over the past 6 games, 2nd best mark in the league behind only BC Lion's 15.7 pts per game.

Calgary haven't given up a first quarter TD since Week 4.

DE Charleston Hughes had his 6 QB sack this season. He is 2nd in the CFL in QB sack.

It looks like DL Kenny Pettway will be back in the lineup on Sunday but there's still no word if Stevie Baggs will play or not. Donovan Robinson who played on Pettway spot last week played well.

SPECIAL TEAMS:

LaMarcus Coker will be the starting returner again on Sunday. R Marquay McDaniel been backing him up as a returner. There is no word if returner Jason Armstead will be in the lineup yet or not.

Rene Paredes is 20 on 22 attempts on this year. He is 2nd best in accuracy rate in the CFL.

Special team's coverage have been playing really well so far this season.

GO STAMPS GO!!!
