Two of the top teams in the Canadian Football League go head to head Friday in Regina as the Calgary Stampeders face the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Kickoff at Mosaic Stadium is 8 p.m.

The Stamps lead the CFL with a 11-2 record while the Roughriders are tied with the Edmonton Eskimos for the second-best mark in the CFL at 9-4. This is the first meeting of the season between the Stamps and Riders, with the return engagement taking place at Calgary's McMahon Stadium on Oct. 24.

Calgary is coming off a 14-7 home victory over the BC Lions on Saturday while the Roughriders dropped a 24-0 decision on Friday in Edmonton.

The Stampeders hold an all-time 121-89-9 advantage against the Roughriders and they have a 50-55-4 record in games played in Regina.

Calgary leads the CFL with a 5-1 road record so far this season while Saskatchewan is 5-1 at home. The Stamps are 4-1 against West Division opponents while the Roughriders are 4-2 within the division.

Jon Cornish, who was just named the CFL's offensive and Canadian player of the month for September, will be looking to tie a team record he shares with Willie Burden by rushing for at least 100 yards in a fifth consecutive game. Despite playing just six of 13 games this season, Cornish is just 21 yards back of Montreal's Brandon Whitaker for the CFL rushing lead.
