The Saskatchewan Roughriders put together their most dominant performance of the season with a 34-6 win over the Montréal Alouettes on Aug. 2nd, heading into the bye week with a league-best 7-1 record, a mark hit for just the third time in franchise history.

Trevor Harris led the way once again, completing 17 of 29 passes for 289 yards, extending his CFL record for consecutive games with a completion percentage of at least 70. The streak has now reached 11. Saskatchewan has also allowed only 10 sacks this season, a key factor behind the team's impressive league standing.

Meanwhile, running back, A.J. Ouellette added 74 tough yards on the ground, helping Saskatchewan dominate the time of possession. Ouellette, with 564 rushing yards this season, is second in the league. The Riders are averaging 110.5 rushing yards per game, which is third-best in the league.

Defensively, Jameer Thurman registered a key interception, giving each of the Riders' starting linebackers at least one pick this season. C.J. Reavis led all defenders with seven tackles, including one for a loss. As well, the defence improved its sack total to 22 over eight games.
