This has the makings of a very interesting game tonight for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. First, you have Head Coach Kent Austin returning to Toronto, where he was unceremoniously dumped as the Argos Offensive Coordinator last year. Next, you have the Riders rapidly gelling offense against an always-tough Toronto defense. And, you have to know Schultzie, Perry and the guys on defense are licking their chops at the prospect of going up against Toronto's 3rd string quarterback and 3rd string tailback!
It's also a test of the mental toughness of the Green Gang. Let's face it, the Argos are a wounded and stumbling opponent. This is a game the Riders should win. However, in the recent past, these were precisely the types of games the Barrett-led Riders inexplicably found a way to lose. Let's see if those days are really behind us.

I'm exceedingly happy that the Riders are in first place right now, but I really think we'll have to keep this up if we want to keep the spot all to ourselves by the regular season's end.
We have to take advantage of BC's injury woes to get ahead of the Lions, if we want to claim first place in the West. Mind you, I'm not gonna complain if the Riders finish second and host a playoff game!
