Regular Season Week 11
The boys in Green and White need YOU to get loud this week, Rider Nation! Your Roughriders are set to face off against the Montreal Alouettes for the second time this season.
When the Riders defense hits the field, all eyes lock on Rolan Milligan Jr. who is leading the CFL with six interceptions and ten pass knockdowns. Milligan Jr. is also second in the CFL for total defensive plays (73) and special teams tackles (13). Its not a matter of If he'll make a big play-it's when. And when his eyes zero in on a ball mid-air, you won't want to miss what comes next.
Rider Nation roars for him and offensive linemen dread him, Defensive lineman Micah Johnson is a different calibre of football player and a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Last week in Ottawa, Johnson delivered four defensive tackles, one sack and a tackle for loss, driving the ball back six yards. He leads the team in sacks and is in a tight 4-way race for first in the CFL (5).
Rookie wide receiver Dhonte Meyers went off in his first career start last week, racking up 101 yards on eight receptions with an average of 12.6 yards per catch. His standout preseason marked him as a rookie to watch, and now he's delivering big-time for the Green and White.
And Rider Nation should be fired up for this news: Quarterback Trevor Harris and running back A.J. Ouellette are back in the lineup and ready to lead the charge this Friday. You won't want to miss these superstars as they return to the field at Mosaic Stadium, in front of the best fans in the CFL!
