Regular Season Week 13
It's the Sold-Out Labour Day Classic, Rider Nation, and with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in our house, the boys in Green and White need YOU to crank up the noise!
This Sunday, keep an eye on quarterback Trevor Harris as he chases CFL history. With 31,301 career passing yards heading into Week 13, Harris needs just 440 more yards to surpass Rider legend Darian Durant (31,740) for 16th all-time in CFL career passing yards. Harris has racked up 1,417 yards in just five games this season and was named the CFL's top quarterback for August by Pro Football Focus. He led the league in passing yards in Weeks 2 (390) and 11 (355) and is third in the CFL for completion percentage (72.1).
Defensive back C.J. Reavis had a stand-out game last week in Toronto, delivering ten tackles and three touchdown-stopping goal-line stands. When Reavis hits the field, you won't want to miss what comes next.
Opposing quarterbacks, beware; the Roughriders pass rush is no joke. Going into Week 13, the Roughriders defence leads the CFL with 29 sacks made by 14 different players, with defensive tackle and one-man wrecking crew Micah Johnson personally leading the league with six.
