I may have to revise my pre-season prediction of a 10-8 record for the Saskatchewan Roughriders this season. The Riders notched their third straight win, and improved their record to 5-2, by knocking off the Argos 24-13 in Toronto Friday night.
The defense overcame some 1st half miscues to post another solid result. The offense wasn't sensational, but was efficient and opportunistic. And the special teams were pretty solid - the highlight being a Wayne Smith fumble recovery after a missed field goal by Luca Congi. Coupled with BC's loss to Winnipeg, the green machine is now tied for top spot in the west, and overall, with the Lions. Next up, the eminently beatable Edmonton Eskimos visit Regina Saturday night. There is no reason, no good one anyway, why Mosaic Stadium shouldn't be sold out for this one!
