It was the Kenton Keith show at Mosaic Stadium Saturday night, as the petulant Riders running back notched over a hundred yards rushing and receiving, and two touchdowns, in a 46-15 dismantling of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Keith's performance was so impressive, #28 appears to have dashed back into the good books of young Jacob - along with the three members of the local constabulary KK shook hands with after his second touchdown of the game. Classic stuff, that!
Let's be honest, the visitors were a poor imitation of a professional football team. Hamilton is bad, and apparently getting worse. Having said that, the Riders took care of their business - and dealt with some adversity along the way. Marcus Crandell started at quarterback, but was knocked out of the game in the first quarter. So, on came rarely-used third-stringer Rocky Butler to the chagrin/dismay of the home crowd. To Rocky's credit, he performed remarkably well - running and throwing (let's be honest) beyond anyone's expectations.
So, now the Riders get a chance to even their record (and re-enter the race for a home playoff date) with a win in Hamilton Saturday. Can they? Sure. Should they? Absolutely. Will they? Stay tuned.
